Istanbul and Constantinople

The type of land mass is a continent; specifically, the one we now call Europe and more particularly, the country of Turkey. Nowadays Constantinople is called Istanbul. There's a song about it.

Part of Constantinople's economic and military advantages were derived from the fact that it was the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, which existed for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. This meant that Constantinople grew into a very large city and as a place where many of the economic and military resources of this empire were concentrated. Cosntantinople was also on the Bosporus, a strait which separates Europe and Asia and connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, it controlled the land route from Europe to Asia and the naval route from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

Constantinople was also in an easy to defend position. It was on a promontory into the Bosporus, which meant that it had water around three of its four sides. The development of land fortifications was made easier by the fact that the city was in a hilly area. On the northern side there was also a water inlet, the Golden Horn, which provided an excellent harbour. This arbour was defended by placing an underwater chain at its entrance.

In the old southwest, you had to work for your food and money. One day, you might have to pluck the weeds out of the cotton fields in the sweltering weather. The next day, you might have to round up the cattle and feed them. Life was difficult in that period of time. No television, ps3, xbox, microwave, refridgerator. Imagine that.

Emperor Constantine the Great moved the capital of the Byzantine/Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople around 330 AD. He felt that Rome was an unsatisfactory capital. Rome was too far from the frontiers. Rome could no longer serve as the center of defense for the Byzantine Empire's widely spread frontiers. Constantinople provided easy trade and military access to the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Danube River, Dnieper River, and the land route to Turkestan and India.
