I'll posit two scenarios and you tell me what WW2 will look like. I won't elaborate to much because I'm bound to make mistakes if I do so because my knowledge isn't that detailed. Here goes nothing:

Scenario 1: German 1914 victory

The POD is that Germany wins the race to the sea and inflicts a tremendous defeat upon the French and the still rather small BEF. This POD is used a lot for "1914 victory" -scenarios so I guess it's okay. It's more or less a rerun of 1870-1871. A peace treaty is signed forcing the French to give up some colonies (any suggestions about which ones the Germans might want?) and pay war reparations. France's national pride is hurt as this is their second defeat at the hands of the Germans in little under half a century. Belgium is cut up in Flanders which goes to Holland and Wallonia which becomes "independent". The Belgian Congo is known as the German Congo from now on. Britain gets a status quo ante bellum peace because the Germans know full well that the Kaiser Wilhelm's beloved High Seas Fleet couldn't possibly hope to decisively defeat the Royal Navy. Germany then turns it attention to Russia...
Obviously the Austro-Hungarian Empire will still be quit vital. After Russia is defeated the Austro-Hungarians will still be around. Maybe you could have a war start in the Balkans (again) causing a conflict with a resurgent Russia. The French and British might wanna give it a go too since Germany has hegemony over the continent.

Scenario 2: German 1918 "victory"

POD is no unlimited submarine warfare, no Zimmerman telegram, and a bit more luck in the Spring Offensive of 1918 or TTL's equivalent of it. America stays out of the war. Germany kicks Russia out of the war as per OTL in march 1918. They then rush all the freed up troops to the western front. Somewhere in spring or summer 1918 they start up an offensive similar to OTL's Operation Michael (with the infiltration tactics etc). Only this time they capture Amiens and Hazebrouck and make a more or less succesfull dash for the channel ports. The lesser allies are quick to make peace and get the best deal possible. Germany loses all of its colonies exept for German East Africa. The French are quite happy to trade the colonies of the lesser allies in exchange for keeping their own. France does have to pay quite hefty war reparations. Belgium loses the Congo* but doesn't get cut up. Germany also gains Mozambique and Angola*. Germany's gains in the treaty of Brest-Litovsk are recognized. Britain gains a few German colonies and is left alone because Germany has no means with which they can force Britain to cede anything. Italy is left alone because it's considered to unimportant and weak. The Italian colonies are a mere collection of worthless deserts anyway (Libyan oil isn't discovered yet). Eritrea and Somalia aren't worth much either. Instead Italy joins Germany in feasting on the corps of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Italian national pride is still hurt though. They haven't forgotten Caporetto and other defeats. You could have a WW2 with a fascist France and Italy teaming up with the Soviet Union and Britain only to turn on the Soviets if they manage to defeat the Germans. I'll leave it up to you.

So what does WW2 look like in these two scenarios?

* I don't know if that's plausible. France will be happy, I think. They'll gain colonies instead of losing them after all.

What will WW2 be like.
