How would a Anglo-Soviet war go in the mid 1940s

Say world war 2 doesn't happen and tension over Central Asia lead to war

How successful would a Soviet or British invasion of Afghanistan

What allies could Britain or the Soviet Union gain

Would there be revolts in each others territory

How does ww2 not happen? No Nazis? Earlier Hitler death and collapse of the regime? Hard to play out a senario in the mid 40’s without specifying the political climate of the rest of Europe at least. If there is a right wing German government but not a Nazi or facist government then I can see the fear of communism pushing Western Europe into one camp against Soviet expansion. Persia/Afghanistan would be the areas of direct conflict in reguards to Uk/Soviet conflict but I suspect it would take a general war in Europe. Those two as sole combatants seems unlikely as neither would be secure enough of German intentions to commit to a all out fight. Neither side has any hope of conquering the other and would commit themselves to a fight on the periphery and would expose themselves to wearing themselves for little gain

Would a Wiemar republic too caught up in internal affairs work
