	SECRETS OF THE DEAD . Gangland Graveyard \| PBS
		Like other New York crime families, the Bonanno Family was founded in the aftermath of the Castellamarese War of the late 1920s and early 1930s, which pitted Chicago's Al Capone against members of the Castellamarese family (whose members hailed from the Castellamarese region of Sicily) for control of the bootleg liquor business.
		Castellamarese members had formed a faction in New York, led by Sal Maranzano, and were in a fierce battle with Capone supporter Joe Masseria.
		Following Maranzano's death, the New York Castellamarese family elected a new boss, 26-year-old Joseph Bonanno, who became the youngest boss of the "Five Families" that formed the national crime syndicate.

		Maranzano, having become the winner of the Castellamarese War thanks to Luciano and his friends, made Luciano his second in command, but this was just part of a Maranzano plot to have Luciano, Genovese and Chicago's boss Al Capone eliminated.
		This served to prevent the all-out wars that had wracked the Mafia in the 1930's while allowing organized crime to grow even richer and more entrenched.
		World War II During WWII, America needed new allies to advance its invasion of Sicily, and Luciano was a perfect choice - imprisoned but with good connections in the Italian Mafia, which had been severely persecuted under Fascists in Italy.

		By spelling out who had the rights to which territory, if one family grew ambitious and over-stepped their authority, they would not just declare war on one, but rather all the other families—a very dangerous proposition.
