Istanbulball

Istanbulball (Turkish: İstanbul), formerly called Constantinople, is the largest city of Turkeyball. Was created by SPQRball. Today Greeceball wants her back.

History
The first known name of the city is Byzantium (Greek: Βυζάντιο, Byzántion, Pronounced "Vizadio" in modern Greek), around 660 BC. It took on the name of Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντινουπόλεως Konstantinoúpolis, or Κωνσταντινούπολη, Konstantinoúpoli; Latin: Constantinopolis; Ottoman Turkish:, Kostantiniyye‎) after its re-foundation under  Roman emperor Constantine I, who transferred the imperial capital from it's historic base, Rome, to Byzantium in 330 AD and designated his new capital New Rome (Latin: Nova Roma).

The modern Turkish name for the city, İstanbul, was used in Turkish alongside Kostantiniyye, the more formal adaptation of the original Constantinople, during the period of Ottoman rule, while western languages mostly continued to refer to the city as Constantinople until the early 20th century. After the creation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, the Turkish government began to formally object to the use of Constantinople in other languages and ask that others use the name which they preferred. The official renaming took place on March 28, 1930. Constantinople became Istanbul and was no longer the capital of Turkey.

Recently in 2016 it has been attacked a few times by the evil ISISball, which is a sad day for the city. Now the Greeks still call it Constantinople.
