Prohibition did contribute to the rise of organized crime, as illegal activities surrounding the production and distribution of alcohol became highly profitable for gangsters. However, the primary reasons for the end of Prohibition in 1933 were the economic pressures of the Great Depression and the realization that the law was largely unenforceable, leading to widespread disregard among the public. Ultimately, the negative social and economic impacts of Prohibition outweighed its intended goals, prompting its repeal.
