Well, the first thing Hitler wanted was peace with France and the UK. He made a deal with France that they could keep their colonies and Germany would return ocuppied France once the war with Britian was over if France agreed to let Germany do what it wanted. This happened in real life and France had become known as Vichy. The next thing Germany did, was offer the UK a peace deal where the British could keep their empire if they gave Germany a free hand in Eastern Europe. In real life, the UK rejected the deal and the war continued. In alternate history, the UK would accept this deal. Seeing as the US largely joined because of the UK, the US would be out of the picture in this alternate history. Next, Hitler would invade Russia, Italy would invade Greece and not declare war on the UK, at the strong recommendation of Hitler. Greece would be an Italian colony after Hitler would help invade. Russia would have to fall because Germany invaded in May of 1941 and Japan invaded Siberia. With the Soviets split between the 2 fronts and unprepared for war, it would collapse. Japan would've most likely seized the Russian Far East and maybe the resource rich parts of Siberia. Germany would've annexed most of Russia up to at least the Ural mountains, effectively seizing most of Russia's natural resources, agriculture and populated areas. In between Japan and Germany would be a weak, pro-Germany/Japanese buffer state, inhabiting the frozen tundra, sparesly populated, and sparesly resourced area between the Urals and Siberia.
Since war with the UK and France ended, Africa and the Middle East would be largely unchanged. The Balkans would be the next powderkeg to start war between the Allies and Axis as Yugoslavia would switch between a Pro-Axis government to a Pro-Allied government in real life. Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania would all go to war over disputed territories, as they wanted to in real life, but Hitler prevented them. Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium would be come German puppets. Finland, a former German ally, do to their dislike of the Soviets, would find themselves isolated along with Sweden. Japan could've only won if they didn't attack the US and it's hard to say, but mostly likely that Japan would've never completely won in China. China gave Japan 5x the problems Russia gave Germany and so a peace deal that favored by the Japanese probably would've resulted.
