Video Infographic : The Power Struggle For Mafia Control – The Castellammarese New York Mafia War
Video
Description
From February 1930 to April 1931, the top Mafia families of New York were engaged in a bloody struggle for power . Called the Castellammarese War, on the surface this conflict seemed like a fight between the Masseria and Maranzano families, the two most powerful New York criminal organizations of the time. However, in reality, this Mafia war was almost a generational conflict, waged between old traditionalists and younger, more forward-thinking members of Italian organized crime. By the end of the war, the entire hierarchy of the mafia was shaken up and completely reinvented, with several prominent mafia bosses murdered and new, corporate-minded figures running the show. So how did the Castellammarese War start? And how did it lead to the sprawling Mafia organization of La Cosa Nostra that we’re familiar with today? Let’s take a close look at this violent period of US history to discover the answers.
