what happens next: Pacific war still happens, USA embargoes Japan after Japan takes over French Indochina in 1940 taking advantage of the chaos of the French civil war. war with Japan is similiar to OTL except that The British empire can fully concentrate its military and resources vs. Japan. The effect, the Japanese while able to conquer, hong kong, the Philippines , Dutch East Indies. and Malaya is not able to conquer singapore and Burma. also Germany does not declare war on the USA. but still invades the USSR in the summer of 1941. Also the Germans intervene in the French civil war. SO you have 2 nearly seperate wars happening, The Pacific war USA, GB, China, Netherlands, vs. Japan. Soviet German war: Germany, Italy and its allies vs. USSR, Spain. The Pacific war ends. in 1946 , after Japan surrenders after the loss of Kyushu , famines due to the naval blockade. Soviet German war ends in mid 1945 in a stalemate with the loss of the Ukraine and the Baltics for the USSR and Spain conquered by combined German and Italian forces. In the USSR stalin is later deposed in a coup in 1946. Reforms in the USSR reapproachment with the USA. No nukes are developed. Probably another war between USSR and Germany in the 60s , KMT wins the CHinese civil war.
