While the POD might cause a war between Germany and Britain, it most likely would not cause a world war because nations like Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Russia would not have any reason to get involved. While Germany's army might have won, the British Navy would have dominated and that would end the war. Besides, Germany was not a popular country at the time.
