Mr. Shinohara will immigrate future dictators and hated people to America, to stop World Wars before they start, and other major adversities of the 20th century. What do you think could happen in those cases?

In the novel “Perfecting the Past,” since the protagonist is a super-corporeal traveler from the future, he’ll know who are all going to become dictators and the like, and will do his best to stop them from ever rising to their infamous prominences.

* ADOLF HITLER = Mr. Shinohara will immigrate him and his family to America on his 11th birthday – April 20, 1900. “Little Ade” (as Taka will call him) will be sent to the most prestigious art school in the nation, where he’ll hopefully become someone on the caliber of Picasso and Dali

* JOSEF STALIN = He’ll be persuaded to leave for America by a group of Shinohara’s agents when they flash him a wad of cash. Upon arriving, a pair of Mormon missionaries with an excellent command of Russian will get him acquainted with their church. He’ll eventually be sent off to a trade school where he becomes trained to become a truck driver for one of Shinohara’s companies.

* VLADIMIR LENIN = The same persuasion method will be used on him, but it doesn’t impress him right away. Then they produce pictures of the wealthy parts of American cities, and promise him an abundant life. He gets sent off to a university where he studies Political Science and becomes a city mayor. (What city – undecided. I haven’t decided what else he becomes after his mayorship is over.)

* BENITO MUSSOLINI – Gets sent to a theological seminary after arriving in the US, and becomes a Catholic priest. When he takes a fondness to middle-school boys though, Mr. Shinohara will get suspicious, launch a platoon of private investigators on him and his congregation, and get him defrocked. Unsure yet what he becomes after his priesthood is over.

* LEON TROTSKY – Lands in Kansas City, becomes a city councilman…

* KIM IL-SUNG’S PARENTS – Kim Il-sung, the first dictator of North Korea in the original reality, was born in 1912, so Mr. Shinohara immigrates his parents and their families. They had him when they were 18, so his parents are in 1st grade when they’re relocated to Washington. His father’s family is put in a specially-built duplex with his mother’s family living in the other unit, and a playground is built right behind it, so when the boy and the girl bond, that is how they eventually wed and produce the would-be dictator. However, Kim Il-sung becomes an electrician in this novel.

* MAO ZEDONG – The would-be first Communist dictator of China is 6 years old at the start of this novel, so his family gets immigrated to Chinatown, Los Angeles. Mr. Shinohara arranges for him to appear on Hollywood films from an early age.

* GAVRILO PRINCIP – The would-be assassin of the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, is 5 years old at the start of this story. After being immigrated to Miami, he grows up to become a dockhand (stevedore) at the port. (To ensure that WWI never happens, Mr. Shinohara gives free boarding tickets and $100 to every Serb who decides to leave their homelands. The Serbs were unhappy with the Austria-Hungary empire at that time, which explains how someone would’ve gotten the nerve to assassinate the head-of-state. The Serbian Exodus to Florida ensures that Austria-Hungary remains a nation, and that WWI never happens in Europe.)

* SICILIANS & MAFIOSOS – Shinohara’s policy changes for them – Mr. Shinohara enacts an emergency order to reroute all Sicilians to Haiti, so that the Mafia infests the impoverished island rather than the good ol’ US of A. He also offers $100 to every Sicilian already landed in America, to pack up and relocate to Haiti. (He almost only offers it to Sicilian males, but some key Mafiosos are so amorous of their wives and girlfriends, that they would rather stay with them than take the $100 to abandon them.)

* HIDEKI TOJO – The would-be notorious Japanese War General is of high school age at the start of this novel. After he and his family get immigrated to a town near West Point, NY (possibly Poughkeepsie,) and gets enrolled at the Military Academy there, Mr. Shinohara gets student rosters for every military academy in Japan, and offers $100 per student & family member to immigrate every academy student and their families to either West Point, NY, or Annapolis, MD (which is the students’ choice, and Annapolis hosts the Navy Academy.) Any Japanese academy student with less than an ideal command of English becomes assigned their own private English tutors. The reason Mr. Shinohara tries to immigrate as many Japanese military academy students as possible to America, is to prevent the future war with Japan.

* SADDAM HUSSEIN’S GRANDPARENTS – They are immigrated to Dearborn, MI (which contains a major Arab community) where they start a family tradition of working for a major automotive company there. When Saddam is eventually born in 1939, he becomes a bully & a street thug in his teen years. When Mr. Shinohara checks on his life, he decides to send him to a military boarding school to straighten him up.

Are there any other dictators whom I missed who needs to be immigrated to America in this alternate timeline?

What side-effects could happen from these immigration efforts?

What other factors should I consider for this part of the plot / storyline / etc. when Mr. Shinohara sends his agents to immigrate these people.

What harms could happen from this history-changing effort?

Some Japanese military academy students were members of the Royal family. How much trouble would it be to immigrate them? What methods would it take for this to be successful?

Since some royal family members won’t be able to be immigrated by Mr. Shinohara no matter how hard he tries, and they go on to become generals and etc. of the military, will there still be a war with Japan?

With Communism stopped before it started, what alternative government-related adversities will be dealt with in this novel?

Without the Mafia in New York (due to being relocated to Haiti,) I strongly feel that New York must have another adversity in its place. What should the that adversity be?

Are there any plot-holes and other glaring flaws in these plans that I must patch up? If so, what and how?

Are there different occupations that you suggest for these people? (For example, should Josef Stalin not be a truck driver? If so, what do you think he should be and why?)

Overall, what do you think will happen as a result of all these efforts that I haven’t yet already hypothesized?
