User blog comment:Some Argonian Named Kesch/Stormcloak Rebellion: Is Anyone Really Right?/@comment-3539474-20131112035604/@comment-9062114-20131113050440

That's not what the Dossier says at all. It says how the Dominion want a long drown out war that will weaken the Skyrim, and you have the Empire to thank for the war. It even says at the end of it how "a Stormcloak victory is to be avoided".

It's the other way around. The Stormcloaks are the best hope for unity in Tamriel. The Empire has burned to many bridges with the other provinces, the Stormcloaks on the other hand have not. meaning that they could create an alliance with Hammerfell, High Rock, and Morrowind to combat the Dominion, while the best the Empire would have is High Rock, even if the Empire wins the Civil War there's probably going to be people who try to succeed again.

What army would the Elves have used to bring down the three Provinces? They had nothing, remember, when you lose the largest army in elven history it's bound to take a toll on you. Titus's decision benefited no one.
