If they beat and conquered the Empire and waited about 50 years or so for internal strife to wittle down and build up a large, massive army, Yeah they would totally crush Black Marsh, there is no doubt about that And how exactly would they do that? The inner swamps in Black Marsh are super hard to get into to if one is not an Argonian. Freaking Tiber Septim nor the Daedra could even do it, how do a couple of snooty Elves get in??? If Mehrunes Dagon led the charge and took care of the rest of the provinces first, he would have utterly crushed the Argonians, no question there, they were sent into a bloodlust by the Hist but its impossible that they could keep that up forever, eventually, if martin was killed in this hypothetical, the Daedra would have won, its not like Tamriel would be enslaved save black marsh lol. If you have the entire planet taken one providence won't hold up.

Also the Thalmor (or maybe it was just rogue mages) once caused almost a whole generation of Argonians to be disconnected from the Hist, if they did it before they could do it again. Thing is, with Tiber, he didn't go to that length to conquer them, Its possible he was stretched too thin, I mean he didn't even conquer Morrowind but won it over via treaties, its possible he saw how pointless it was to take an inner swamp, Tiber was reasonable. However the Thalmor are not, as judging by the above, the Thalmor wouldn't put genocide off the table. Im sure if they really wanted inner Argonia, they would have no problem killing off majority of the Argonians with a magically crafted virus that effects only Argonians or something like that, to take it...

I think, however, they would probly settle for the outlying regions though, like the Legion did tbh.
