While I don't think that Nazi ideology would necessarily not have developed without the Treaty of Versailles, it would have been less likely for them to come into power.

Britain didn't ally itself with the Soviet Union at the time, it (and France) just failed to declare war on it. This was likely a pragmatic decision to avoid cementing a German-Soviet alliance or fighting a two-front war.
