Other way around Pellie, the Mede Empire almost destroyed the Thalmor. The only thing keeping them in power is the Empire's armies enforcing their will, if said Empire was to turn on them however... :P At the end of the Great War, both sides were in a pretty bad shape.

But I consider the Mede Empire to have been at an even worse shape than the AD. Well, true. But you have to realize the Empire though with hurt soldiers, still had most legions in atleast somewhat decent shape. And the Aldmeri Dominion had lost one of their largest armies in Red Ring, in addition to their failure to take Hammerfell. Odds are, they didn't really have much left to even battle with!
