And I’m sure a lot more. So that’s exactly what we’ll answer in this video, so if you're a true godfather fan our just simply curious, get ready because a lot of these aspects will shock you.

What very few know, is the fact that Michael was not the sole orchestrate of this plot. In fact, it had been in the works for years.
In the novel, when Vito assembled his inner circle and began briefing them on the upcoming changes to take place. He privately talks to Tom, ordering him to tap the phone lines of Clemenza & Tessio, ensuring he received the monthly phone logs of both phone calls made and received. Even though he makes it clear he does not suspect them, and fully trusts their loyalty, however he saw it necessary to have as much information as possible. By the end of the conversation, Tom concluded that all these actions were hinting that within the dons mind, a far reaching and complex plan was being initiated. And made seem that a sort of day of reckoning was to unravel in the future. So, with the fact this conversation occurred prior to even Michael’s return from Sicily, it was clear that Don Vito had begun preparing some sort of plan for revenge.

Even though Vito swore that he would not break the peace, Michael had no intention surrender and stand by while they had almost destroyed his family, costing him his older brother Sonny, and wife Apollonia. Micheal assured Vito that there was nothing he could do to stop what was coming next, so with the instability of revenge, Vito guided Michael, and helped orchestrate this cunning and ambitious plot....

Its also important to mention that, the first member of the Corleone family to have some sort of intention to take out the other families at once, was actually Santino Corleone. Its true that he had discussed the possibility ofd taking out the other families in such a manner, however, he definitely could not have been able to skilfully to plan such a plan by himself, but he still deserves some credit on his way of thinking in which is something consistent with what Vito would have taught him.

But with all that being said, Michael is the one who truly was behind this move, yes he had help, and wasn’t the first to come up with the idea, however he is the one who managed to actually pull it off and had the heart and focus to successfully consolidate his power as the new don, of the mafia. Almost surpassing his father the legendary don vita Corleone.
