How they hell would anyone not know the difference? It’d be like not knowing the difference between Taylor Swift and Madonna.

I know I learned about them twenty years ago but I don’t recall anything about either of them anymore, so that’s how I can’t know the difference anyway.

It helps that They Might Be Giants wrote a song about it. Constantinople was the capital of what we now call "The Byzantine Empire'' (at the time they just called it 'The Roman Empire') Istanbul was the capital of The Ottoman Empire. And as everyone knows. Istanbul was once Constantinople.

Constantinople was also the capitol of the ottomen empire, the name change came after ww1, when attaturk Formed Turkey
