It is difficult to imagine that Germany with Hitler in control could ever have avoided a massive world war. Hitler wanted to conquer most of Eastern Europe, kill the inhabitants and repopulate it with Germans. Hitler wanted to make Germany a world power that would dominate the globe. He knew that he would have to fight wars with the western powers in order for this to happen. In fact, he wanted this to happen, so that Germany could replace Britain, France and America as the sole, dominant world power.

Hitler was extremely committed to invading and destroying Poland and Eastern Europe. If for some reason he had been forced to abandon his planned September 1939 invasion, he would have pushed hard for an invasion at the earliest possible opportunity. He knew that Britain and France were likely to declare war on Germany if he did so - not only did he not care, he wanted it to happen, because he predicted that Germany would quickly defeat them and then go about his plans of seizing all of Eastern Europe without interference.

Hitler's plan was for massive conquest and control of Europe, pure and simple. As long as he remained in power in Germany, he would have tried to implement it. He was already furious that the invasion of Poland had been delayed as long as it had been.

The only way that Europe could have avoided a general war in those circumstances would be for an internal German coup against Hitler - using probably the elements of the military who opposed him. Otherwise, the history of Europe with Hitler in control of Germany pretty much only had one way of unfolding - a massive war along the lines of World War II. If Hitler had had everything his own way, he would have been able to invade and occupy all of Eastern Europe without interference from France and Britain, destroying the Soviet Union and massacring its entire population. He then would have fought short victorious wars against France and Britain, and then would have allied with a compliant British Empire to launch a world war against America to ensure Germany would dominate the world unopposed.
