If...
The Nazis hadn't invaded Poland in 1939, but rather launched their attack on Russia through Czechoslovakia and Romania, how would the war have finished?
The Ukrainians, no fans of the Soviets, might have agreed to form a Vichy government. The great powers of the West, Britain, France, and the USA, would have been happy to stand aside and watch the totalitarian states tear each other apart.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Hitler mistakenly believed that Britain would not honour the treaty with Poland, so invading the east (avoiding Poland) might have been a good strategy in hindsight.
But in reality, following the invasion of Poland was ‘the phoney war’ in which not much happened for 9 months from the Allies – Hitler’s big mistake was to ignore his own advice (not to fight on more than one front), by invading the Netherlands, Belgium, France etc.
