What was Johnny Torrio's and Al Capone's importance in the development of organized crime in Chicago?
What will be an ideal response?
Torrio and Capone saw the opportunity for riches that Prohibition would present to the gangs and, on the other hand, the loss of competitive advantage to other gangs that would occur if they did not jump in. Their boss, Colosimo, did not want to participate, fearing bootlegging would bring federal law enforcement down on them. Colosimo ended up dead soon after. Torrio excelled as a master strategist and organizer and quickly built up an empire. The Torrio-Capone organization became crime overlords.
