The Aldmeri Dominion does not want to enslave the race of Man but only to rule Tamriel. When you think about it,  when the Nede's came to Tamriel is when everything started to be about war and battle. You my friend have no idea what you're talking about; Talos is a god, it has been proven a multitude of times(most notably in The Knights of the Nine)

You are correct in that The Aldmeri Dominion doesn't want to enslave humans, they want to destroy them, not just on nirn, but in all plains of existance and even history, they want to completely destroy the possibility of humanity existing so that they can become gods and have no fear in becoming mortals once more.

And when the Nedes came down from Atmora they were a peaceful settlement, not until The Falmer massacered them for no reason other than they were breeding quickly, Atmora was freezing over and the only place they found peace betrayed them, there was no other option for the survival of their people than to go to Merith, and when Ysgramor and his sons returned to Atmora and told their people of the betrayers that were the Mer they took it upon themselves to punish them, and to establish a home that wasn't slowly killing their people.

The Ayeleids enslaved humans in present day Cyrodiil, and like most slaves they rebelled on their former masters.

The Human races did not cause their enslavement and genocide, it was the Mer(and their false sense of superiority) who attacked first, it was the Humans who fought back.
