'Septim is opposed on all sides, but never more fiercely than by Hammerfell.' -TESA: Redguard Tiber only started conquering provinces after becoming Emperor of Cyrodiil and peacefully annexing Skyrim. The first province he conquered was High Rock, then he moved on to Hammerfell, then Black Marsh, then Elsweyr, then Morrowind, then the Aldmeri Dominion (it's never specified if he took Valenwood or the Summerset Isles first).
