Well, here's my try at it:
1. The Bolsheviks are more successful in Russia than OTL, winning the Soivet-Polish War and setting up a Communist state in Poland, as well as holding on to the Baltics. German Freikorps units hold the line against disorganized pushes across the Oder, are lauded as heroes by President Harding and the cinema of the day.
2. With covert aid, the General Strike of 1926 turns into a Communist revolution in Britain. In the chaos, portions of the colonies are siezed by France, Germany, and the U.S.
3. In the 1930s, Hitler comes to power in Germany and brutally supresses the KPD. Civil war breaks out in France between monarchists and Communists. Germany, Italy and the US aid the monarchists, Russia and Britain aid the monarchists.
4. After a monarchist victory in France, Germany turns its attention east to "free the masses of Poland from Judeo-Bolshevik tyranny". Alt-WWII begins. The U.S. is initially neutral, but after several US ships are sunk and Britain invades Ireland to destroy U-boat bases there, America joins the Axis.
Admittedly, it's pretty ASB. Maybe it'd be better to just have a U.S - Britain war over Venezuela sour relations in 1900, and go from there.
