(0. PPS win Polish elections in 1930/Bulgarian Communists win 1931 elections)
1. Gyula Gömbös never gets testicular cancer, signs alliance with Italy and Germany
2. Japan refuses to sign on after Germany pushes too hard. Hungary also helped push Japan away.
3. At Munich, Germany agrees to give back the Sudetenland in exchange for acknowledging Austria as part of Germany, Hungary gaining southern Slovakia and Carpathia, allowing Hungary to wage war in the Balkans except for Greece and Romania, and allowing Germany secret military access in Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia - France and the U. K. also get military access to prevent a German sneak attack.
4. December 1938. Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Hungary, Italy, and Germany sign a secret anti-Russian alliance. Sweden agrees to allow transport of troops. Poland refuses to sign
5. January 1939: Poland approaches the Soviet Union about the German alliance. Poland, Mongolia, Bulgaria, and the Soviet Union sign a secret alliance. The Chinese Communists are promised a spot if they can get a ten year ceasefire. With Soviet pressure, the Japanese agree to call a summit, and China cedes Shanghai, the modern Guangdong area, major Japanese influence in Hainan and Taiwan and recognizes Korea as part of Japan as well as offer monetary payments. Both Chinas promise to recognize further Japanese expansions elsewhere. With the threat of Soviet intervention, the Chinese Republicans agree to a ten year ceasefire. Additionally, Greece and Yugoslavia, feeling threatened by the Berlin Alliance, agree to a solidarity pact with Romania.
6. Germany gets the go-ahead to attack the Soviet Union from the U. K., France, and America. German-Italian troops mass across the Axis borders while the navies prepare to attack the Black Sea and the armies prepare a plan to seize St. Petersburg.

What happens next? Will the democracies and Balkan monarchies intervene during the war or after the war is over? What does Japan do? Does Nationalist China attempt to ally with France and the U. K. and/or Germany?

The crazy thing about this hypothetical is your magical Nazi diplomatic corps who can get every single country in Eastern Europe except Poland and Romania in on their Crusade against Bolshevism, but can't get Japan on board.

In many nations, including America, a good segment of the population believed the Soviets to be a bigger threat than the Nazis. You must have a very narrow definition of Eastern Europe, since it excludes Turkey, Greece, Yugoslavia, and several other countries you left out.
