The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre

Описание: The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, occurring on February 14, 1929, stands as one of the most infamous events of the Prohibition era, encapsulating the violent struggle for control within the underworld of Chicago. Orchestrated by Al Capone's gang against rival bootlegger George "Bugs" Moran's North Side Gang, seven men were mercilessly gunned down in a garage, disguised as a police raid. This brutal act of gangland violence shocked the nation and became a symbol of the rampant lawlessness and corruption of the time. Despite its gruesome nature, the massacre marked a turning point in public sentiment, ultimately contributing to the downfall of organized crime syndicates in Chicago and the eventual repeal of Prohibition. The event remains a pivotal moment in American criminal history, emblematic of an era where ambition and ruthlessness reigned supreme.
