Reading the thread "Three-way Cold War?" (https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=205028), a Russo-Japanese Alliance is mentioned, stemming my curiosity. Upon the termination of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, Britain feared that Japan would grow closer to Germany (which it did OTL) or Russia. What if Japan would have grown closer to the Soviet Union, instead of Germany? I believe that the only way this alliance could be is if the Nazis never rose to power and Germany remained weak, allowing the Soviets to pursue their agenda in Eastern Europe. Some say that Indian nationalists rebelling against British rule would make a third member of this ATL Tripartite Pact.
