Ladies and Gentleman please do not be obsessed over "Constantinople" because such a thing does not exist.The name o the city is Istanbul and it was Istanbul at the time this battle was fought so i am removing the name "Constantinople".

In English, the city was still referred to as "Constantinople" until the early 1920s, and this is an encyclopaedia in English. You wouldn't refer to Moscow as "Moskva" or Cologne as "Koln".

And at the risk of being pedantic, I have seen it argued that entymologically conSTANtinople and iSTAMbul are actually the same name - it was named after the Emperor Constantine, and Istanbul is the Turkish version of the name. However this theory doesn't seem to be supported by the Istanbul page on here, although said page does still reckon "Istanbul" is a corruption of a Greek name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.192.0.10 (talk) 13:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
