I was reading up on the treaty and learned the history behind Hammerfell and their fight against the Aldmeri without help from the Empire. The Empire abandoned Hammerfell because of their refusal to give up so much territory to the Aldmeri. Hammerfell fought the Aldmeri to a standstill. I can easily see Ulfric leading Skyrim to an alliance with Hammerfell and the Nords and Redguards defeating the Aldmeri and then dismantling the Empire. After learning this, I understand Ulfric's motives better and I find myself agreeing with him now. Here is the info:
The Concordat's terms also included the cession by the Empire of a large portion of southern Hammerfell to the Aldmeri Dominion. Hammerfell, however, was unwilling to accept the loss of so much territory and continued to fight, forcing Titus II to officially release Hammerfell from status as an Imperial province in order to maintain the treaty. The Redguards were eventually able to fight the Aldmeri to a standstill, leading to the Second Treaty of Stros M'kai in 4E 180, which dictated a complete withdrawal of Aldmeri forces from Hammerfell. Southern Hammerfell was, after five years of continuous warfare, left in a devastated state, and Hammerfell remained an independent province.
