The Historical Origin of The Godfather of America

The development of American Mafia has a deep historical origin with Italy, especially the Italian Mafia:

Closely related to the mafia is John suter Vimani, a descendant of a prominent Sicilian family of the Bourbon dynasty in the first two Sicilian kingdoms. 1834 escaped imprisonment and immigrated to the United States because of business bankruptcy. Weimani first settled in new york and made a small fortune by opening a small hotel. Then he built a farm on the Mississippi River and made a lot of money. 1837 Continue to the west. 1839, he took a group of recruits to the Sacramento valley in California, which was then Mexican territory, and started horse racing. He settled down in a meadow with abundant water plants and established a manor and farm. In order to make his manor dignified, he was named after the Italian mafia "Maffia", which was closely related to him and made him afraid. In a few years, Vimar's "Maffia" manor almost became a free and independent kingdom, and his men, especially members of the armed guards, formed a "mafia man". Mafia is the original team of American Mafia. There are streets, shops, restaurants and dozens of huge granaries around Weimani Manor, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere. He accumulated a lot of wealth, built a mansion and reached the peak of his career. At this time, he remembered his wife and three children in Sicily, so he sent someone to Sicily to pick up the mother and son. At this time, the eldest son Sue is already a young man in his twenties, and it's time to get married. With the help of Weimani, Fan married the daughter of the local governor. A year later, Sue's son, Weimani's grandson, was born. He is Vito, the originator of the modern American mafia, who later shocked the whole world and was honored as "Don" by mafia people.

The United States launched a war against Mexico in 1846, just to seize the place where California and now New Mexico are located. The war soon spread to California, and the "Maffia" of Vimarni was not spared. Because the Americans refused to recognize Vimar's control over the land in Maffia, Vimar rose up and led his own "Maffia" armed forces to resist the American attack, but this resistance was futile in the face of the well-equipped regular army of the United States. In the end, Weimani lost the mafia manor and farm she worked so hard to create. A year later, in anger and helplessness, Vermani died of a heart attack in Los Angeles.

After Vilmanyi's death, his family and some loyal followers moved from Los Angeles to the Riviera on the east coast of the United States, not far from Boston, and lived there for nine years. Vito's father, Russell Van, doesn't like "Mafia people" fighting and killing people, but prefers to be a self-reliant law-abiding citizen. Nilo Konk, his younger brother, completely inherited his father's adventurous spirit, gathered a group of Mafia people who had followed his father and formed a gang with underworld nature. This is the embryonic form of the American mafia. At first, the Russell Alums didn't live with Vito's grandmother and uncle Nilo Konk. Later, in order to rely on each other in life, under the persuasion of Nello Konk, the Russell Alum family moved to Maide City, where their younger brother was located. Russell Alum won't let Vito do anything illegal like Nelokonko. But his uncle's wealth and reputation attracted Vito deeply. In contrast, my father's meager salary is a bit stretched. His uncle often took him to the Hot Khan Racecourse, where the mafia met, and let him know many early American mafia leaders, which played a vital role in his later becoming the godfather of the American mafia.

With the growth of age, Vito began to gradually understand the "glorious" history of his family and grandfather, and his pride in his heart could not help but arise. At the same time, he was full of the desire to take risks and the impulse to commit crimes. 14 years old, due to lack of money.

Strong self-esteem made him unwilling to reach out to his uncle again, so he decided to do something that would make him rich. He turned his attention to the company's vault. He told his uncle the whole plan, but he said nothing but told him to be careful and wished him success. Vito found another partner and started working. Unexpectedly, they stole $50,000 almost effortlessly. This was a large sum of money at that time, which caused a sensation in the local area. The easy success strengthened Vito's belief in becoming a mafia. This incident also caused quite a stir in the mafia. The mafia was impressed by Vito's courage and strategy from an early age, and Vito was also appreciated by the mafia leaders, and formally joined the mafia organization and became one of them.

17 years old (about 1862- 1863), Vito returned to his hometown of Sicily, organized a group of people under the leadership of his grandfather, and started our business again. In Sicily, Vito spent ten years. In this decade, he has become more mature, more cunning and more cruel, and has completely mastered the power of the Sicilian mafia, becoming a veritable godfather and a powerful generation.

Ten years later (about 1872- 1873), Vito returned to the United States. In the past ten years, the United States has developed very rapidly, especially the economic development. Vito discovered a vast world, where he could do a great job. He decided to stay in the United States, make full use of the experience he learned in Sicily and accumulated wealth, and establish his own mafia empire. Under Vito's single-handedly operation, the well-organized modernist mafia in the United States was quickly established. Its members are mainly Italian mafia who immigrated to the United States from Sicily, and some mafia people who once lived in the United States. Vito became a natural leader. Vito "struggled" in America for 20 years and finally established his own huge black empire. The American Mafia has become the second largest underworld organization in the world after the Italian Mafia. Since then, Vito returned to Italy to continue to lead his mafia organization, but he kept sending many key elements to the American mafia. As the American Los Angeles Observer said, "Like an old farmer, Don Vito left behind his 20th century modernist mafia organization on this land, which was allied with the Glorious Society in Sicily (the name of the mafia gang organized by Italian Vito)". Since then, the American modernist mafia has been established.

The American mafia is closely related to the Italian mafia, not only because it was framed and established by the Italian mafia, but also because the Italian mafia is its protector and collaborator. The Italian mafia can be said to be the "mother's family", "rear area", "backbone training ground" and "backbone provider" of the American mafia. In particular, several top leaders of the Italian mafia, that is, the "Pope" and the top leaders of the American mafia, have made the relationship between them even more tense. Therefore, in the American mafia, if a member has the background of Italian mafia, it is of great significance to improve his status. Sometimes, the election of American mafia leaders depends directly on the candidate's piety to the Sicilian family. The top management of the American mafia attaches great importance to the marriage relationship with the Italian mafia leader. Since a large number of mafia members moved to the United States in the early 20th century, these "Americans" have always tried to implement the policy of marriage with mafia families who stayed in Sicily. As long as you look at the "genealogy" of the American mafia, you will find that in every generation, fresh blood is injected into Sicily. The Italian mafia is responsive to the American mafia, and their cooperation is extremely tacit. The most typical example is that the Italian mafia actively and effectively cooperated with the landing of American troops in Sicily at the request of the American mafia in World War II. As for providing convenience or even shelter for the other members, it is even more "obligatory." This is why mafia members in the United States or Italy will flee to Italy or the United States once they are in danger in their own countries and cannot survive.

The name of the American mafia organization first appeared in the official archives of the United States on1June 24, 889. On the day of the trial in the New Orleans court, it was written: Mafia is a secret organization, proficient in crime, with strict internal discipline, and no one dares to testify in court. At that time, the mafia criminal organization in New Orleans was founded by two brothers named Antonin Matra and Karl Mazira. They are also immigrants from Sicily, and they are inextricably linked with Vimani's "Maffia". They make a living by selling fruits and vegetables in New Orleans. With the booming business, they gradually controlled the market in New Orleans, and gathered a large number of sicilian as their right-hand man, and gradually formed a mafia organization. They began to organize people to collect a "protection tax" from the busy port of New Orleans according to the habits of the Sicilian mafia. A ship that refuses to pay the protection fee shall not dock at the port. At the same time, they colluded with the inspectors and bribed the police. So what the police authorities do to the mafia is mostly to turn a blind eye.

Like New Orleans, most Italian immigrant communities in other parts of the United States have gradually established their own mafia organizations. Most Italian immigrants to America live in slums. Because they don't know English and have no skills, most people can't find jobs and their lives are unsustainable. They generally live at the bottom of society, and their status is even worse than that of blacks, because blacks generally speak English. Italians tend to be unkempt and look down and out. They feel powerless to the new world. In order to protect themselves, they still set up various small mutual aid groups according to the habits of their hometown, believing in and worshiping their leaders, treating them as their agents and paying them protection fees. Most of the leaders of those small immigrant groups have benefited a lot from this, and they have gradually become rich. Coupled with illegal transactions, more and more money has been made. These leaders also used their own money to get in touch with local police, judges and government officials. They use their wealth, prestige, status and relationship with the authorities to cut off dissidents and consolidate their position. Then through the fire pit between gangs, one or several mafia organizations will be formed in various places, and then together they will form a mafia criminal network all over the United States.

The main activities of the American mafia are in the following areas: First, New England in the northeast, mainly Boston, Philadelphia, new york and other cities; The second is Chicago in the north-central part; Third, New Orleans and other places near the Gulf of Mexico in the south. There are 29 major mafia families active in various places, of which 5 are the largest and most influential. They are mainly concentrated in new york-centered areas, namely, gambino family, genovese family, Lucassi family, Bernanos family and Klombo family. Among them, the gambino family in new york is the most powerful, with about 15000 mafia members, including 5000 backbone members, and countless people cooperate with them. Gambino family, the original godfather Antasia, was shot by the clone family Picico in 1957, and gambino succeeded as godfather. By the time he 1976 died, this family had rapidly grown into the largest family in new york Mafia. The Godfather is based on the gambino family.
