The most feasible scenario for this that I can see goes something like:
- Barbarossa is a huge success, the USSR collapses in late 1941. Stalin ousted. USSR surrenders. German Eastern front troop divert to middle east.
- Britain agrees to peace rather than lose remaining imperial territories. Churchill ousted in the process.
- Japan immediately after agrees to peace with Britain and France.
- With the scale war significantly reduced Japanese and American tension reduce. War seems avoidable and the Japanese don't launch Pearl Harbour.
- The US negotiates with Japan to cease the war in China and cease further expansion. Possibly cede back a few territories.
But given the manpower and in the industrial power of the USSR and the USA, I don't see a realistic scenario where they sue for peace rather than continue a war which they will eventually win.... other than some sort of massive internal collapse, which seems unlikely in both cases.
