Four-way Cold War. Green vs Red vs Black vs Blue

How can we get a Fascist (Black) Germany controlling the Baltics, Belarus, the Ukraine, and a piece of the oilfields in the Caucasus and allied to South-Eastern Europe and Syria. A Democratic Capitalist (Blue) America allied to Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, South America, Saudi Arabia, Iran, South Africa, Central and South America. A Communist (Red) USSR (minus German occupied lands) allied to Iraq, Mongolia, Ethiopia, and maybe Pakistan. And a Democratic Socialist (Green) side comprising France, Spain, Italy, Egypt, India, and most of Northern Africa.
 
I think the main turning point would be the Spanish civil war. If the countries who particpated took a much more aggressive stance and actually particpated fully in the war you could maybe cause a break between France and Britain. With Britain becoming a isolationist power allied to America. World War II would happen but the USSR and France would ally together but then break apart. Germany would make the gains but would stop and peace would be declared. Also I think that maybe if you throw Sweden and the Swiss in with America. The Democrats become isolationists. The world would then be supplied during thier various wars with weapons from America. I also a atomic research program being delayed.
 
I don't think a four-way standoff is possible; one group would probably ally with the other, such as Red & Green, Blue & Green, Red & Black, or Black & Blue. Either one of those seems possible.
 
Well to a limited degree they would have to be aligned into two blocs. But if each was powerful enough they could have multipolar world. For example in OTL PR OF China and the USSR were communist states. Yet at times they were at odds. Using this as a model we can say that the world could be divided among 4 blocs. If the democrats were isolationists there could be a three power world. The Facists hate the communists. The Socialists hate the Germans for the invasions but also hate the USSR for the betrayel during the war.

I don't get the green and blue sides. I think its more likely to get a blue side consisting of Britain and France (and their empires) then the green side is the USA maybe with some South Americans.
