No German DOW, means there is enough sentiment to “Kill the Japs” first. FDR is unable to maneuver past this.
The US concentrates on the Pacific Theatre, eventually invading Japan in the winter of 1944, to almost a million casualties. There are very few Japanese people left.
In China, the extra aid to Chaing means he is able to eliminate Mao, if ineffective against the IJA. Chaing establishes a ‘cult of personality’, and institutes economic policies which end in collectivizing the Chinese Mainland.
In Europe, England prevails, but the Soviets sweep across Europe. Waking up at last, the US frantically feeds men and material into the British Isles, but it is a lonely bastion of Western Civilization against the hordes of Eurasian villainy. The English take pride in calling their embattled land, “Airstrip One”.
In the USA, the million man pile of dead in the invasion of Japan causes revulsion against FDR, and brings Wallace and the Progressives into power. (A minor butterfly causes Weiss’ gun to misfire saving Huey Long, who serves as Wallace’s VP.) After the election, someone mentions how a union of all the English-speaking Progressives would be a good idea. Long proclaims, "We are all one family, but nobody's the Papa."
The world by the 1960’s is one of three fairly stable power blocks centered on the Western Hemisphere – surrounded and protected by oceans, the reformed USSR, astride all of Eurasia, and the Chinese Hegemony, which controls all of East Asia.

This all assumes that Americans were on board with abandoning Europe, which has been and will be debated a lot in this forum.
