What If Hitler never Rose to Power

Hirohito and Todeki would still have their Imperial Japan ambitions and create the world’s worst massacre.

Stalin would still want World Communism and annex countries left and right.

Mussolini would still want to revive the Roman Empire and annex Ethiopia and the Balkans. Without Hitler, Italy would actually have enough time to prepare their Army. In 1938 Italian and Germans concluded that the Italian Army would be ready for war in 1942, this is the reason why the Italian Army did so poorly in our timeline.

Germany would be in a state of instability and extreme poverty, where Monarchists, Communists and Nationalists fight each other for power. Might lead to a Civil War.

The Spanish Civil War would end in Republican Spain ( Communist ) winning. This Spain could ally itself with Russia.

And it would have a lot more consequences. A World War II is inevitable if you only take out Hitler. Infact it may be worse since Nazi Germany does not completly exhaust the Soviet Union and the USA would not come out of Isolation atleast not to help the Allies. Churchill will also not lead the UK, meaning it will still follow their appeasement policy which would lead to no intervention early on if Stalin or Mussolini start attacking.

German scientists and intellectuals would not escape from Germany, meaning Einstein and a lot of other scientists never going to the USA. The development of the Nuclear Bomb may be delayed for 10–15 years without Hitler.

The only good thing would be no Holocaust.
