MrGCharles "Lucky" Luciano was an influential Italian-American gangster who modernized organized crime in the United States during the 1920s-1940s. He rose to power in New York by allying with other crime bosses and orchestrating the murder of his rivals. Luciano reorganized the mafia into "The Commission" with representative crime families and oversaw lucrative criminal rackets. However, he was eventually convicted of running a prostitution ring and sentenced to prison, though he was later deported to Italy in exchange for helping the US government during World War 2. Luciano continued trying to exert control over criminal operations from abroad but was unable to fully resume power in the US.

Korean War
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korean troops invaded South Korea, crossing the 38th parallel border between the two countries. In response, United Nations forces led by the United States launched a counterattack and pushed the North Korean army back above the 38th parallel. However, Chinese troops then entered the war on the side of North Korea and drove UN forces back south. Fighting continued back and forth across the parallel until an armistice was signed in 1953, leaving Korea still divided along the 38th parallel between the communist North and non-communist South. Over 10 million people died during the three-year Korean War.
Transcontinental Railroad
The Transcontinental Railroad was built in the United States in the 1860s to connect the eastern and western halves of the country. It was an immense engineering challenge to build tracks across the vast distances and difficult terrain. The Central Pacific Railroad worked eastward from Sacramento, California while the Union Pacific Railroad worked westward from Omaha, Nebraska. On May 10, 1869, the two lines were joined at Promontory Summit in Utah with the driving of the final "Golden Spike." The railroad revolutionized travel and trade across North America.

CHAPTER FIVE Italian Organized Crime and the Albanian
CHAPTER FIVE
Italian Organized Crime
and the Albanian Connection
Abadinsky, Organized Crime 10th ed.
In this chapter we begin our examination of organized
crime on the global scene, sometimes referred to as
transnational organized crime. Our focus will be on
criminal organizations that have affected, or have the
potential to affect, the United States. We will begin our
examination with four of these criminal organizations—
Mafia, Camorra, ’Ndrangheta, and the Sacra Corona
Unita (with its Albanian connection)—which have their
roots in southern Italy, the Mezzogiorno.
2
THE MEZZOGIORNO
The southern Italian experience dates back more than
1000 years. It led to development of a culture that
stresses the variables necessary for survival in a
hostile environment.
To be respected meant to be entitled to the deference
of others that came from the ability to use violence.
Omertá: the southern Italian ideal of manliness--
non-cooperation with authorities, self-control in the
face of adversity, and the vendetta.
3
THE MEZZOGIORNO (CONT.)
The vendetta--"blood washes blood"--dictated that any
offense or slight to the famiglia (family) had to be avenged.
The only basis of loyalty was famiglia--"blood of my
blood" (sangu de me sangu).
Neither government nor church was to be trusted.
The famiglia included all one's blood relatives,
including distant cousins, traced through paternity.
The famiglia was organized hierarchically under the
patriarch, the capo de famiglia.
4
THE MEZZOGIORNO (CONT.)
The Mezzogiorno remained mired in feudalism and
dependent on agriculture; a legacy of political, social,
and economic repression; and exploitation.
Government spending on building projects became a
vehicle for Mafia infiltration. By corruption and
intimidation, Mafia-controlled firms took a share of
public contracts.
3 types of criminal organization emerged: the
Neapolitan Camorra, Calabrian 'Ndrangheta, and The
Mafia (Cosa Nostra).
5
THE SICILIAN MAFIA
Sicily is an island in the Mediterranean.
In the 19th century, successive regimes of Mafia clans
maintained a uniquely Sicilian form of order--brutal, at
times protecting the landed elite, at other times protecting
outlaws.
The government in Rome imposed a tax policy that took
money out of Sicilian agriculture to invest in the north.
Landowners escaped high taxes. "Strong men"
administered their lands and acted as patrons to the
peasants on the lands, and were assumed to be mafiosi.

MAFIA
"mafia" has Sicilian-Arabic roots.
"mafia" as a state of mind has a meaning shared by all
Sicilians: aid each other, side with friends, fight common
enemies, defend, avenge, keep secrets, beware of
authorities.
"Mafia" could not flourish without "mafia," which
represents a general attitude toward the state.
A mafioso did not invoke state or law in his private
quarrels, but made himself r ...

Pre research paper old beginning
The American Mafia grew substantially in the early 20th century, led by Lucky Luciano. Luciano established the Mafia's five families in New York City and expanded their criminal activities like gambling, drugs, and bootlegging during Prohibition. The Mafia's success was due to the loyalty of its members, ruthless tactics to eliminate threats, and corruption of public officials. Major crimes like the 1929 St. Valentine's Day Massacre demonstrated the Mafia's effectiveness in violence and avoiding prosecution. Through Prohibition-era bootlegging and other illegal businesses, the Mafia established deep control over parts of the economy from New York to Chicago in the 1930s.
