Ignoring the fact that, canonically, WW2 and the rise of Hitler still (somehow) happen in the DC movie-verse, let us examine what would be a more realistic outcome of the events of the first Wonder Woman film.
A major butterfly effect has to focus on the deaths of most of, if not all, of the German High Command at the hands of a crazed Ludendorff and the movie's version of Dr. Isabel Maru / Dr. Poison in order to prevent the armistice from going forward. This includes von Hindenburg.
In our timeline, Ludendorff actually agreed with the armistice (as did Hindenburg), though both although both of them made sure to put the blame of the defeat and armistice on the "backstabbing by the civilian government/the Jews" myth, that would play a huge part in Nazi propaganda. Ludendorff in our timeline also participated in Adolf Hitler's failed putsch in November 1923. He also died in 1937, instead of 1918.
Hindenburg also played a major role in our timeline in the post WW1 era. And to an extent Hitler's rise to power- though some of that arguably wasn't entirely his fault, as the man was basically senile at that point.
I think it likely that the Entente Powers would use Ludendorff's madness and attempt to prolong the war via bombing London with Dr. Poison's deadlier form of mustard gas as an excuse to punish Germany further. It's not as if they weren't selective with the facts in our timeline when it came to finding justifications to punish Germany. And I can easily imagine them ignoring that Ludendorff was going rogue and painting the attempted bombing as 'hunnish betrayal' or something.
