Let's assume the Nazis are able to seize the Caucasus in 1942, and the Western Allies agree to am armistice shortly after. The Allies have successfully liberated North Africa and have probably occupied places like Sicily and Crete, but an all out invasion of Europe never occurs and Germany stands astride the continent. How then is the course of the Pacific war affected?
I'd imagine the allies would be able to send more forces to the Pacific than OTL, but they will still need to keep a certain amount North Africa, the Middle East and the free areas of Europe to protect then from Germany. Lend lease supplies could be used in the Pacific.
The Japanese will benefit from no Soviet entry into the war, but that will do nothing to prevent blockade and firebombing. They might also get a morale boost from the German victory in Europe.
