There has been lots of alternative history about that scenario. Tory historian Niall Ferguson has argued if the Brits stayed out the British would still be a world power comparable to the US. Quick history might of meant no Hitler or Russian Revolution.

No, more likely we would have had to have fought a an expansionist Imperial Germany at some point, except the Germans would have had a much larger economy, a bigger navy and a bucketload of battle-hardened troops and we’d have no friends or allies to fight alongside us. We where right to take them on whilst the circumstances were still favourable.
