Prohibition summary The noble experiment of Prohibition was introduced by the 18th Amendment, which became effective in January 1920. Here are four reasons why Prohibition was introduced: 1  National mood - when America entered the war in 1917 the national mood also turned against drinking alcohol. 2  Practical - a ban on alcohol would boost supplies of important grains such as barley. 3  Religious - the consumption of alcohol went against God's will.
Why Did Canada Have Prohibition. Prohibition in Canada was the culmination of multiple movements, and multiple things happening in the time period of WWI. The fight against alcohol, or the Temperance Movement, began as early as the 1860âs. Many of those advocating for the temperance movement were religious groups and women, though not in all of Canadaâs provinces. Another movement taking place before and during WWI was the Womenâs Suffrage Movement.
