I would like to apologies to the Greek people for butchering their language. I was relying on 13 year old GCSE Ancient Greek so I again, sorry.

When your city is literally called THE CITY
-
World: We're gonna call it Constantinople. Turks: So you have chosen no mail delivery.
-
2:08 ‘Istanbul not Constantinople’ Some American bois in 1953: “That’s a great idea for a song.”
-
Turks: "you refer to Constantinople as 'the city' right?" Greeks: "yup" Turks: "In greek 'Istinpolin' means 'the city' right" Greeks: "yup" Turks: "'istanbul' is simply a turk variation of the term" Greeks: "makes sense to me" Turks: "Then it's Istanbul" Greeks: "It's Constantinople"
-
Any place: changes it’s name. Europe: how about no. Usa: cheers I’ll drink to that!
-
1:50 "start calling the Turkish capital Istanbul" Ankara starts crying
-
“Except for the Greeks.” That made me laugh.
-
The world: "It's Constantinople" Turkey: You have lost your mail delivery privileges
-
some say the city was also called bisanettium, named after the rich roman aristocrat jaminus bisanettine
-
"If you've got a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul"
-
Turkey: does something Greeks: wait that's illegal (Turkish-Greek relations in a nutshell)
-
I just wanted to say that I adore this YouTube channel! So informative but also fun! Keep it up. 👍🏻
-
"Which is why most nations officially refer to the city as Istanbul now... Except for the Greeks." Ah, yes. The Greco-Turkish tradition of arguing, fighting, or having a dispute in some other way.
-
Next up why isn’t Armenia recognised by Pakistan.
-
These videos absolutely crack me up. It's something about the bluntness and frankness of the animations. Really good stuff.
-
Wow, that was a lot more complex than I thought it would be! Thanks for the explanation 👍
-
"Why'd they change it, I can't say..." "Guess they liked it better that way"
-
"Except for the Greeks". Makes sense. Ty for finally answering this heartfelt question since I've heard both that it came to be in 1453 and in 1923 and I was confused

Congratulations on 500k!
