True. During Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933), the manufacturing, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages were banned. This led to a rise in organized crime as criminal enterprises took advantage of the demand for alcohol. Bootlegging (illegally producing and distributing alcohol) became a significant business for gangs, and speakeasies (illegal bars and clubs) proliferated. Organized crime syndicates, like those led by figures such as Al Capone, thrived during this period.
