Don Vito Corleone is the head of an American-Italian Mafia family. His household is just 1 of the 5 families in NY. These households are the most powerful crime organisations of the USA. Of those 5 has the Corleone family the greatest power. However, of course, in NY, there is a good deal of competition between the families.

It has been 10 years since the lasst war. Ever since then, het power of Don Corleone was created. Everything remained quiet and calm until a man named Sollozzo came along. He wanted to sell narcotics in the USA. This marketplace was still untouched and very rewarding. He offered the Corleone family a big part of the proceeds in exchange for fiscal, political and legal support. However, Don Corleone refused ¡¥cause he believed it was too insecure.
He had also a kind of adopted child, a guy called Tom Hageen. He was the acting consigliori, or couseller of the family. Santino and Fredo were both engaged in the family business, Michael wasn¡¦t. Santino was also present in the meeting with Sollozzo. When the Don rejected Sollozzo¡¦s provide, he argued with is father because he believed it was a fantastic idea. However, his father abruptly showed him his place along with Santino agreed. Sollozzo was happy about this: he saw disagreement in the household.
A few weeks later, something happened that no one expected: Don Corleone was taken down in front of the workplace. The responsible person for this was Sollozzo. The Don survived the shooting but was out for at least a year. Santino had to be the substitute Don and Tom had to match his role as consigliori. Following another atempt on the Don¡¦s lifestyle that didnit succeed, Sollozzo (encouraged by the Tagtalia and Barzini households) wanted to make a deal. He wanted Michael to meet him along with a corrupt police officer at a restaurant. Michael, who understood that Sollozzo would attempt to kill his father again, determined with the household that Sollozzo had to be killed. So, when he had the meeting, he took Sollozzo but made a big mistake with murdering and the police officer. By murdering the police officer, the Corleone family started a war against the other 4 families. This war lasted a couple of years. When the Don almost recovered and Santino was killed, Don Corleone desired to make peace. And calmness came. Michael, who had been banned to Sicily for killing a police officer, returned to NY. The ready him to succeed his father. In the mean time, the other families believed that the Corleones were weak and they started taking over territory and gaming facilities. Then, the older Don Corleone died. Michael had to take over the household and he broke back. A couple of days after his father¡¦s death, the family rose back to his previous level and even succeeded it. The other households became weaker(murdered, overpowered,¡K) and the Corleones had come back as the most powerful family in the united states.
