The Italian mafia started in Sicily before it was united with Italy, to guard themselves because coutries kept attacking them. The families transfered allies, etc, to the USA when they immigrated here in the late 1800 and early 1900's. It grew mostly in New York and Boston, peaked in the 40's, and has been going downhill since. However, it's unlikely it'll ever entirely disappear.
If you have to ask how to join, you won't be able too! ;) It's all about name and connections.

The Italian mafia can be trace to about 1,000 ad..... It was formed first because of the Norman's governement discrepancy in the way they solved feuds... the poor people got the short end of the stick always... so instead of going to the authorites, small groups were formed between the people and they solved their feuds internally. From that concept was that the mafia was borned.... but it wasnt until the 1900's that the mafia began to expand... First all over Europe, then to America... and notorious Mobsters such as Al Capone, Carlos Gambino and "Lucky Luciano cemented the Mafia as an american icon from which many dozen movies spanned

Mafia is an acronym that translates to "death to all frenchmen" The mafia started as a militia, funded by Black market activities. Those skills were brought to the USA and the advent of prohibition made it possable to gain big profit. Before long they had their collective hand in everything the could produce money.
that's the short answer
