Can you guys describe what alternative leadership existed for fascism to organize under?

I'm not familiar with Kai-Shek having sufficient organization in China (without America) either to contest Japan. He had enough trouble disciplining the warlords in his country to contest Mao. That turn of events should keep him occupied in developing China for sometime.

The Balfour Declaration didn't have to take place either. Britain could have entered the war purely for its Entente Cordiale with France in contesting German supremacy instead of supporting an ethnic Jewish homeland carved out of the Ottoman Empire.
