ITTL, the incipient Soviet Union fails to hold on Ukraine and Belarus, who in fear of their neighbour, take interest on Pilsudski's Intermarium project, after which the Baltic Republics follow suit for similar reasons after a Polish-backed coup in Lithuania (Czechoslovakia declines, something they would bitterly regret later). This substantially alters interwar politics: Hitler focuses in expanding his influence in the balkans, which puts Germany against Italy, that develops a much more aggresive strategy (invading Metaxas' Greece years earlier) and forces Germany to an earlier accord with the Soviet Union. This creates a political earthquake within the Spanish left, and the Spanish Civil War is butterflied. Egypt falls into the German sphere after a Nationalist, anti-British revolt, with the carrot of taking control of Sudan under Germany's auspice, and the stick of Italian expansion. The war has been delayed, appeasement policies still being in place and priorities being different against a stronger Poland... but after taking Denmark, Norway (Quisling tried a coup and failed so the Germans "assisted" him) and the Sudetenland, all lines have been drawn, Germany still needs vital space, and Europe is preparing for the unavoidable.
