It is entirely possible that the Skyrim's independence can act as an example for the other lands of Tamriel. Namely the Redguards would be next to rise up either with or without the help of the Nords, which would divide the attention of the Thalmor. Hearing news or their rebellions Imperials in Cyrodil may also begin to rebel against them which again lessens the focus of the the Thalmor. With Skyrim and Hammerfell fighting for independence and Cyrodil having internal struggles, Morrowind may join the fight as they also hate the HIgh Elves. All these forces and perhaps other regions may eventually join forces and take out the Aldermi Dominion thus either reinstating the rule of the original empire or the beginning of a new one.

All thanks to the Stormcloak rebelion.
