From the temperance movements of the 19th century to the enactment of the 18th Amendment in the United States, the banning of alcohol was meant to curb social problems but instead fuelled an underground industry of bootlegging and speakeasies. With figures like Al Capone rising to power and law enforcement struggling to keep pace, prohibition became one of history’s most controversial experiments. Join us as we uncover how this bold attempt to control alcohol consumption reshaped society and ultimately led to its repeal.</p> <p>An article supporting this episode can be found on the website at: <a href= "https://5minutehistory.com/the-history-of-prohibition" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://5minutehistory.com/the-history-of-prohibition</a> or why not take a look at our YouTube channel at <a href= "https://5minutehistory.com/youtube/">https://5minutehistory.com/youtube/</a></p> <p>Please support us by subscribing and leaving a review wherever you get your podcasts.
