You know what, Malavita, thats an extremely perceptive overview you presented. Bravo!

I never viewed it that way. But I think you are correct. Very much so, in fact.

With the exception of the legendary Castellammarese War that was fought not only between families, but nationwide, with many borgatas weighing in with manpower, resources and influence, the "Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh" conflict was the only one that comes to mind that was fought between rival Families, per se.

All the others, regardless how bloody and high-profiled they may have been, were fought between rival "factions" within the same Family.
