WI ww2 without french or british

I think the western powers wouldn't keep their stance of "threaten to attack but always reach a compromise to appease Hitler in hopes that he won't go further" for too long. The french were already fortifying their defences heavily in 1939, and it only seemed that they got invaded without expectation because they were expecting defensive trench warfare. Had Hitler not attacked early, i'm sure the french would deal a first strike and, comsidering how important first strikes were in WW2, defeat Germany once and for all.
That is, unless an earlier PoD causes the soviets to harass continental capitalist Europe more, making the french and british see the nazi germans as a bulwark against communist expansion into Europe. A soviet victory at the Battle of Warsaw, 1920, would suffice.
 
Well the British and the French would've gone to war with The Reich eventually. Even if they did let Hitler take Poland, that would've put him to border with the USSR, and Hitler would never miss an opportunity to attack the communist slavs, since nazism is both against slavs and communism. If Hitler could concentrate his forces in the USSR he could defeat the soviet bear. Keep in mind, however that Allies were watching this whole time, and they would most likely help the soviets, since it was them who were defensive. If the USSR fell, it would be most likely that the Allies would attack Germany. However, if they don't, Hitler would still like some interaction with them. After all, Hitler considered the British and the French somewhat the same. It would be a very stale relation however. If peace was to be between The Axis and The Allies it would be a cold one, only to prevent war and to keep the trade flow going on. In the next decades we would most likely see a cold war, a little warmer than the one in our timelines. Since nuclear weapons are developed after the war, they would be used in some proxy wars. Proxy wars would probably happen in the middle east, since both The Fascist Block and The Democrat Block would try to secure oil. However i can't really tell which side would fall or if any even will. The Communist Block fell because of lack of a good living of the people, so the eastern european states revolted. Should the nazis rule East Europe, they would give the people a life they considered they were worth of it. So we might see some revolts. Since the nazis were very hateful towards the ethnic slavs, they would attempt (and probably succeed ) to exterminate them. Similarly, if Germany has the USSR then Japan might keep a strong hold on China, and would also try to exterminate chinese people.
In conclusion, if the British and the French would not go to war at all with the Reich, it would result in a cold war where both sides would just not attack eachother for the sake of peace. Will one side snap and wage war? If the true nature of the nuclear weapons if revealed, unlikely, if not then probably yes. We would see a Super Holocaust on the slavic and chinese people. Probably not the best prediction, but i hope it was at least worth reading.
