That’s not accurate without having Constantinapole/Byzantium/Istanbul in the ranking. The original city was always in Europe, it extended to the Asian side administratevely during modern Turkey.

Originally, Turkey is also Christian.

[@cemdo9292]

@@1158supersiri No it wasn’t, hundreds years ago that land was ruled by Roman Empire until Turks conquered. It wasn’t called Turkey. This data is about cities geographically in Europe which Istanbul is. Your remark makes no sense

If anyone is wondering why Istanbul suddenly disappeared after 1926 and made a come back after 1959, here is a simple explanation. France, the UK, Russia, Italy, Greece and their allies the Serbs, the Arabs and Armenians fiercely attacked the Ottoman Turks between 1914 and 1918 (WWI). Having lost over 3m lives, the Ottoman sultan had to surrender to the Western Powers. As part of his deal with the UK and France, he tried to silence his own people who did not wish to be ruled by western powers. (Yes, Istanbul was occupied by the UK, and the rest of modern Türkiye by Italy, Greece and France). During the occupation period, Turkish families who survived the western powers were eitherkilled or escaped and were forced to leave their homes for rural towns in Anatolia...Eventually, the Turks rose up against their sultan and the western powers (incl those who came from NZ and AUS) under the leadership of Atatürk and declared the Turkish Independence War (1919-1923). Only after 1923, the Turks regained their independence but they also lost millions more lives. Within the old empire's borders an estimated 8 million of Turks lost their lives between 1914 and 1923. This is the main reason why Istanbul's (and other capital cities') population dwindled. When the new Turkish Republic was finally established in 1923, there were no teachers, no doctors, no architects, no schools, no hospitals, no factories in the country. Many people, mostly children and women had become homeless; unempleyment and hunger were widespread across the country. So, the Turks had to start from scratch. Just as they thought things were getting better, the second world war broke out...

This video is so funny since it does not include Constantinople, the city in Europe that had the most impact on the western world. The fact that it is ruled by people who do not identify as europeans today does not mean it was the case for thousand years. Capital of rome for almost thousand years, the hub of eastern christianity, wealthiest city in europe, hub of western knowledge and western philosophy in the middle ages.
