In addition to the disruption of daily life people also had to contend with the effects of the war. The Continental Army was often ill-equipped and underfunded leaving them vulnerable to attack. They were also weakened by disease as well as by the lack of supplies. In addition many people were forced to flee their homes as the British forces advanced.

Letters were often intercepted by the enemy making it difficult for people to stay in touch.

NO. Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, is the largest city in Turkey, not Greece.

Constantinople provided easy trade and military access to the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Danube River, Dnieper River, and the land route to Turkestan and India.

Constantine the Great did not found New Rome. This was one of the titles which was given to the city of Constantinople.

Ancient historians did not actually clarify why Constantine the Great moved the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) to the nearby Greek city of Byzantium, which he redeveloped and renamed Constantinople (City of Constantine) in 330. One reason might have been that Nicomedia had been designated as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire by the emperor Diocletian who had unleashed the Great Persecution of Christians.

A highly likely reason was propaganda, which Constantine was very good at. He even invented a fictitious descent from the family of a previous emperor to give legitimacy to his quest for power. A new capital named after himself would give him further prestige and act as a symbol of the new dawn for the empire his rule would usher in. The city was also given titles such as "The New, second Rome,' 'Eastern Rome,' 'Alma Roma,' and 'Roma Constantinopolitana.' Byzantium has seven hills like Rome. This created a similarity with Rome and justified the titles mentioned above.

Originally Constantine considered Sirmium (in modern day Serbia) for his new capital. Then he opted for Byzantium. Other factors may have helped this choice. This city was on the route between Europe and Asia like Nicomedia, but it was in a better strategic position. The roads from south-western Europe to Asia converged there. It was on the Bosporus, the strait between Europe and Asia, and between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Therefore, it also controlled the naval route between these two seas. It was also a city easy to defend. It was on a promontory into the Bosporus. Therefore, it had water on two sides. The Golden Horn, an inlet of the Bosporus meant that there was water on the third side as well. The hilly terrain helped to defend the part of the city which was not on the seafront or by the Golden Horn.

Traders in Antioch might have reached Constantinople via overland routes, such as the Silk Road, which connected various trading hubs across Asia and the Middle East. Additionally, they could have traveled by sea, using ships to navigate the Mediterranean Sea, stopping at various ports along the way before reaching the bustling markets of Constantinople.
