The last valiant stronghold of Constantine's Holy Roman Empire. Was breached by the Ottoman Forces of Muhammad the Conqueror using artillery designed by Christian Engineers.
If Constantine agreed to purchase the designs for the siege cannons instead of turning them away, the Turks could never have captured Constantinople.

A made up imaginary place that is dreamt by Greeks every minute of their life. Actually its not imaginary...its just HISTORY! The place was called Constantinople 600 years ago....wasnt that a long enough time for you to get over it?
Joe: Istanbul was called Constantinople over 600 years ago but Greeks still think its their capital.
Jack: I wouldnt blame them for that Middle East looking capital they actually have.
Joe: Whats their actual capital called again?
Jack: Who cares.

A very long word.
Person 1 - "Constantinople is a very long word, how do you spell it?"
Person 2 - "C-O-N.."
Person 1 - "Wrong, it's I-T!"
Person 2 then punches Person 1

The name for a city which existed 600 years ago, and after being captured by the Ottoman Turks, is now called Istanbul. Despite the Greek beliefs that Istanbul is rightfully theirs, this is not true as the Ottomans rightfully won it, with no cheating etc. It is now by right belonging to Turkey. Greeks should stop dreaming that Russia will capture it back for them.
"Istanbul, not Constantinople" the lyrics of a song by The Four Lads, later covered by They Might be Giants
