Is it true that United States Prohibition in the 1920s fueled the growth of organized crime syndicates?
Yes. A reference article and a history article state that Prohibition fostered the rise of organized crime and the American Mafia, and a peer-reviewed paper reports the standard view that Prohibition created a large black market supplied by organized crime.
