How about between WW1 and WW2 USA becomes a champion of decolonization. It frees Philippines and puts pressure on UK and France to free their Asian and African colonies. Japan and Germany declare they are fighting to free the colonies from their Allied Masters. Germany having no colonies loses little from this stand and Japan presents its actions as liberation and economic cooperation rather than colonization. Italy breaks with the Axis and support Britain as it wants to hold on to its colonies in Libya and Ethipia.
In this scenario USA continues to sell oil and steel to Japan. Japan keen to keep up the support is less harsh on the Chinese and British prisoners it takes. US does not aid the Chinese Air Force like in our TL hence removing another Casus Belli with the Japanese. Instead it puts pressure on the British to not send troops over the Burma Road from India to China.
In 1940 France is under German control. The Nazi party has started deporting Jews to Palestine instead of to the camps. The British have started unrestricted submarine warfare and sink Vichy French ships loaded with jewish deportees in the Med. There is outrage in New York. The British are no better than the Nazis. They al have Jewish blood on their hands. Usa lets it be known to Japan that they will not intervene if Japan were to free the Asian colonies of France and Britain. Japan invades but bypasses Philippines which stays neutral. Without American opposition it easily takes New Guinea and invades North Australi. Australia is knocked out of the war and does a Vichy like deal.
Meanwhile after Italy defects to the British side as they are keen to hold on to their colonies in Africa the North Africa campaign does not happen and German troops can focus on the Balkans and Spain (which after a token invasion does a Thailand and joins the Axis)
Britain meanwhile is fighting alone without Lend-Lease which got torpedoed after the Jewish Deportee ships got torpedoed. Roosevelt loses the Democrat Primary and the next Democrat President is more to the left declares that America will not support any country which has colonies. He signs a treaty of Friendship with the Soviet Union with the proviso that if Soviet Union invades any of its neighbors the treaty is off. This frees up Germany and Japan from a fear of a Russian front. Operation Sea Lion goes ahead. its a success but there are huge casualties and Hitler cancels plans for Barbarosa.
At this point the only people still fighting the Axis are the Free French in Africa and the Caribbean. The Portuguese and the Empire of Brazil and the British forces in the Middle East, India and Burma. The British crown has evacuated to Canada and set up a Govt in Exile. The Spanish free govt has set up in Mexico.
The US objects under the Monroe doctrine to the bringing of the war to its backyard.
USA invades Canada and Canada becomes 4 more states. Mexico meanwhile has the Republican Spanish govt in exile and becomes the next target.
USA signs a treaty of friendship with the Axis and invades Mexico, Brazil and and all Caribbean territories. It also invades North Africa to "decolonize". From North Africa it invades and liberates Libya, Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia in that order which sets it up for the invasion of Yemen and the Hejaz
Meanwhile Germany Takes Portugal and Italy proper.
The British Indian Army rebels motivated by the INA and India goes Independent. It breaks into smaller states fighting but eventually coalesces into 4 states - A Punjabi state which also controls Sindh , Baluchistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir and Western Tibet. A North Indian Hindi Speaking state which has the Nepali Monarchy as its constitutional monarch and controls North India, Central India and Central Tibet. A Southern confederation of states led by the Nizam and Mysore. A Unified Bengal which has control of Assam and Eastern Tibet has well. British Burma holds on to the North Easter states.
The Japanese meanwhile complete the conquest of Indoenseia and do Amphibious landings on New Zealand. Philippines has signed on as a Japanese ally in the Greater Easter Co Propserity Sphere.
China is divided into a hodge podge of local warlords and Japanese and Soviet Sympathizers.
Turkey enters the war on the side of the Germans and the germans make a drive down the middle East and link up with Baghdad and finally finish the Baghdad railway.
The Americans in Egypt invade the Saudi lands to liberate it from superstition and old cultural practices (in reality American oil companies have found from Geological Survey that Arabia may have a lot of Oil.
Here is the world in 1943 - Germany reules all of Europe except Scandinavia. Poland and the Balkans are shared with the Soviets. The Middle East is a new Turkish empire though its the Germans running it. Italy is back in the fold but under the German boot.
North Africa and Middle East from a stretch from Morocco to Dubai is under American Control. Iran is neutral as is Argentina and the Indian states. China is a mess with infighting while the Japanese ruled Asia- Oceania is finally at peace and focussing on rebuilding. (It stretches from Manchuria to New Zealand)
The Free French hold out in Cameroon and the British court moves to South Africa.
The US is now a country with over 70 states stretching from Alaska to Brazil.
Hawaii declares independence with Japanese support and USA decides it cannot really be against colonization while holdign onto a territory which has a Japanese majority population. it agrees to the independence of Hawaii as a buffer state.
