For some reason, multiple people think that Skyrim was Dominion land during the war when it is clearly not. Of course The Dominion is not settling the Civil War since it's not their providence. I'm getting a little annoyed by people saying The Empire is a Dominion puppet. They're not. The treaty may be sided toward The Dominion, but that doesn't mean The Empire is powerless.  This.

The Dominion does not control the Empire's armies, nor dicate Imperial policy beyond the treaty signed 30 years prior. This is stated nowhere in-game.
