Probably but we can see from our current affairs that it is far from simple for an outside country to orchestrate the overthrow of a tyrant even if they have superior power and believe they have the right to intervene.... which is a huge issue in itself. The elves were chary and with good reason of meddling in the affairs of mortals and I doubt that they would have wanted to or feel entitled to play "policeman on the world stage" to use a modern expression.
