Depends on how WW2 is averted. But assuming Hitler comes to power and doesn't start WW2, his failed state would have quickly collapsed in a few years. The USSR would have most likely remained more isolated, possibly eventually collapsed like it did historically. Japan would have still gotten involved in a war against the USA and been quickly crushed. Fascist Italy might have survived just by keeping their heads down. European colonial powers would have kept their empire much longer, but it's pretty likely it still would have eventually collapsed as their influence wanes.

Isreal probably would have still been founded before long. I imagine anti Semitism and racism as a whole would be seen as more socially acceptable. In general things would probably be more conservative, at least in the west. But it's also pretty likely a leftist resistance would be far more popular as the USA wouldn't have spend much of the cold war violently crushing them in Europe and America.

The invention of nuclear weapons would've wholly prevented it if it was delayed enough.

This is questionable. If Japan still attacks European colonial empires (as you say they would) I doubt anything would change, since Japanese success was a far bigger factor in inspiring and empowering many anticolonial movements than anything that happened in Europe. You may argue that the European powers would be stronger and would have more resources to fight against any independance movements, but they may not have the will, for instance many have claimed France fought so persistantly in Indochina and Algeria only due to a sense of national humiliation and trying to recover prestige from the German occupation
In a number of cases decolonialism was already in progress. India for instance had been granted a degree of home rule, being given it's own elected parliament in 1919 and the British government had already announced it's aim for Indian independance. Some historians actually believe that WW2 delayed Indian independence.

You could be correct. I guess it would depend on how well the Japanese do. I'm assuming them doing far worse, but it's not like the UK would have send most of their European fleets to fight the Japs. Biggest difference would most likely be French, and I doubt they could do much to stop Japan from taking Indochina.
