The AD succeeded in claiming Valenwood and Elsweyr, they tricked ol' Titus to sign the WGC. Now they are waiting for the Empire to fall apart from within. They were wrong. The Empire is biding its time, trying to recover its strength so it can oppose the AD. Many Nord rebels think the Empire is no longer strong enough to protect Skyrim, yet hey are the one that does not preparing for the Second Great War. Stormcloaks throwing men away, supplies and money at an internal matter instead of saving all those resources for what is likely to be a protracted, costly war with the Aldmeri Dominion.

Cyrodiil Army are smaller in numbers than the Dominion, but the thing is that the Civil War would not have happened if the treaty was not signed. Indeed, the Empire lost half of its army against the AD but Lord Naarifin's entire army was destroyed. It doesn't matter if continuing the war would've resulted in the Empire losing another half of its remainder. The Civil War in Skyrim pretty much did that.

Finally, how many Dominion manpower are in their army? their navy? If they are overnumbered could be a problem. Without any aids from High Rock/Cyrodiil, Skyrim Rebels likely will lose.
