Hmm ...
The Germany/USSR/China Axis would have four of the five (or five if the USN is included) largest navies in the world arrayed against them so they aren't importing anything which can't be shipped by rail.
Germany's submarine campaign would go *splat* even faster than it did historically because the RN would be more than happy to show the Japanese, French, and Italians "here's how ASW is done". Once the US gets dragged in - and they eventually will get dragged in on the Allied side - you won't see the carrier spam which occured historically because the Axis in this what if don't have any and the "swarm of angry Fletchers" would be optimized for ASW instead of AA.
It would be land war the Axis can not win because there is absolutely no way they can come up with enough ships to even contemplate successfully invading either the British or Japanese isles.
France and/or Italy may fall. The others won't.
