Constantinople, a name rooted in Greek and Roman history, was seen as representing the city’s imperial past before the rise of the Turkish nation-state. Istanbul, a name already used colloquially among Turks for centuries, became the official name. The government then encouraged and pressured foreign countries and mapmakers to adopt this new name as well.

There’s always those threads you know how they’ll go… space news about Uranus, for example. The predictability irritates some, but I take comfort in seeing all the same jokes trotted out. It gives a sense of community and belonging. :)
