	History of the Mafia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Castellemmarese War (1928-1931), so called because many of the main participants were originally from Castellemmare del Gulfo in Sicily, resulted when powerful Sicilian Mafioso Don Vito Cascio Ferro sent men to America with the mission of seizing control of the American Mafia, then known as "The Black Hand", from the established "mainlanders".
		Salvatore Maranzano (TODO: merge that article with Sal Maranzano), perhaps the only university-educated Mafioso, met with Joseph Bonanno, Joseph Profaci, and Stefano Magaddino, all from Castellemmare del Gulfo, met in New York and aligned themselves against the powerful Joe "The Boss" Masseria.
		Maranzano thus became the only "capo di tutti capi", or "boss of all the bosses", in the history of the Mafia.

	Lord High Executioner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Maranzano was an educated man and considered himself something of a king in the underworld and treated all those under him with a certain amount of contempt.
		Maranzano set a trap for Luciano requesting that if he wanted protection and to join forces with him, he must kill Masseria himself to stop this war and that so that Maranzano could be the Boss of the underworld.
		Maranzano was pleased to cooperate on instructions from his lawyer with the federal agents, so he identified himself and asked how he could help the "agents." Then, two of the men dragged Maranzano into his office while the other two stood watch over the six body guards.

	SECRETS OF THE DEAD . Gangland Graveyard \| PBS

		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 was then the strongest Mafia boss in the nation.
		A myth that the Maranzano murder was quickly followed by a "purge" of from thirty to ninety old fashion bosses has persisted to this day.

	The Biography Channel - Charles 'Lucky' Luciano Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		By allying himself with Masseriaâs great rival, Sal Maranzano, he was able to kill Messeria (in true Italian fashion: he ambushed him in a pizzeria) in 1931.
		This gave Maranzano great power over the Mafia as a whole, power which Luciano was eager to have.
		Sensing this, Maranzano plotted to kill his lieutenant but, with the help of the ever vigilant Meyer Lansky, the plot was discovered, and Luciano killed Maranzano before he could strike.

	Lucchese Family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Masseria did not want Reina's gang to side with Sal Maranzano, so this hit was meant to intimidate Reina's gang.
		After Masseria's death, Maranzano officially recognized Gagliano as head of his Family at La Cosa Nostra's first national meeting in Chicago in 1931.
		Obviously not feeling obligated to Maranzano for this, Gagliano and Lucchese later joined forces with Charles "Lucky" Luciano against Maranzano.

	Lucky's Dream
		Like Lupo, Joe the Boss and Sal Maranzano, Lucky believed that New York needed a single boss to keep the rackets moving smoothly and to halt the internecine warfare between the various clans.
		While it was clear to most that the younger faction of the mob was taking over, there were still several Mustache Petes – especially Sal Maranzano – who had to go.
		Maranzano and Masseria had been at each other’s throats in what came to be known as the Castellamarese War – named for Maranzano’s backwater home village in the mountains of Sicily.

	History/Background
		Luciano easily assumed control of the family, and then parlayed his newly achieved status to take on and outfox his scheming former ally Maranzano, who was apparently planning to kill Luciano.
		In September of 1931, after Maranzano (right) was executed, Luciano was on top of the LCN world.
		Unlike Masseria and Maranzano, Luciano recognized that other Mafia leaders had grown weary of an autocratic style of leadership, the endless battles, and the possibility of an early death.

		Eventually, Masseria was murdered and the war ended - although not by the hands of the Maranzano forces.
		Neither Masseria nor Maranzano, who were closed minded Mustache Petes, wanted to consider working with other gangs, much less with other ethnics.
		After Maranzano had won the war, he took in Luciano as his number two man, and appointed himself boss of bosses over them all.

	Italian and Jew
		Both men, Guiseppe Masseria and Sal Maranzano, were not-so-gently pushing for Luciano to join their gangs.
		Later, once the forces of Masseria had been vanquished and Maranzano adopted the mantle of capo di tutti capo, Lansky and Siegel would step in, and working closely with Charlie Luciano, (who emerged from the two-year Castellamarese War with the appellation "Lucky") would bring true "organization" to organized crime.
		With Maranzano out of the way, Lucky and Meyer took their show on the road and went from city to city selling the idea of the Syndicate.

	Bonanno
		His tendency towards despotism angered many including Luciano, (left) who had Maranzano killed just four months after his victory.
		There was, however, a need for the New York Castellamarese family to elect a new boss.
		This method had created despots like Masseria and Maranzano (right) and no one wanted a repeat of that.

	The Long Ride
		It didn’t take Meyer long to come up with not only the answer, but a solution that would be beneficial for Luciano, and also himself.
		Meyer explained to him that Masseria was behind the plot and it would be wise to think about joining forces with Masseria’s arch-enemy, Salvatore Maranzano.
		This put in motion one of gangland’s biggest purges or as some like to call it, the war of attrition.
