Answer:

explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Prohibition was not necessarily an effective solution to the ills of a rapidly industrialized society, like a typical example of what happened in the United States of America.

In the history of the nation, between 1920 to 1933, there was a nationwide prohibition on the sale and import of beverages with high alcoholic contents.

Different women and religious groups championed the cause for the prohibition and the Eighteenth Amendment of the constitution came into effect in 1920, to support the prohibition.

All these contributed to the increase in organised crimes what was witnessed. The illegal distillation and sale of alcoholic beverages was seen in many areas.
