As the Empire is locked in the civil war, The Thalmor launch a Second Offensive on Hammersfall. Draining eachother's resources and numbers. The Stormcloaks and Empire stay at a stalemate. After the Thalmor crush Skyrim, Their combined forces decide to move on Cyrodil to crush the Empire once and for all. They now have Cyrodil surounded from the North through Skyrim and the South through Elyswer.

After which, The Thalmor invade Skyrim, Crushing the weakened war ravaged lands. After a bloody war, The Stormcloaks push the Empire out of Skyrim. We know their motive is to weaken out the Empire in a long drawn out conflict. We know as a fact that Ulfrid is a Brainwashed POW from the War, Who the Thalmor implanted with the Idea to rebel against the Empire. Would you care to elaborate how it's not correct? Deal with it I guess.Ĭonsidering that this very argument has been raging without conclusion since oldrim was first released its unlikely that you've stumbled upon some hidden nugget of lore that can back up your claim.
