Hitler would not have come to power.

On the other hand Germany might have won.

The big questions are 1) what would have become of the Bolsheviks (we were going to have to fight them sooner or later) and 2) Would the British Empire have survived.

I don’t have an opinion on what would have happened to the British Empire, but I expect that as soon as the fighting on the Western Front was completed, the Germans would have returned their armies to the Eastern Front and terminated their marriage of convenience with the Bolsheviks with extreme prejudice. Lenin and the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic would be as significant in world history as Robespierre and the National Convention. A nasty, brutish, and mercifully short episode.
