Need to accept Constantinople, and it should also be the listed answer.

The source seems inconsistent with itself. How could Istanbul go from 700.000 in 1700 to 10 million today - and still being below 170.000 in 1800!? The only explanation I can think of is that it wasn't considered European in the latter list.

constantinople was renamed istanbul in the middle 15th century so istanbul should be the answer shown

Actually, it only became officially known as Istanbul in 1930 - However, cuendillar's point is valid. It didn't suddenly cease to become part of Europe nor was it obliterated - thus, this quiz is entirely faulty in its methodology and data.

Elsewhere on Wikipedia it says Istanbul had 400 000 in 1800. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Istanbul)

Glad you added Istanbul for 1800 based on sources. However, the argument that a city with 170,000 in 1800 couldn't have 10 million today doesn't hold water. Kinshasa didn't exist until the 1880s - it was just a bend in the river. Now it has 10 million people. New York was much smaller than 170000 then as well. Cities can grow (or shrink) with alarming speed.

@ cuendillar, yeah, the source was inconsistent. I checked with multiple other sources, and added Istanbul in for 1800.

Uncertainty about Istanbul aside, an interesting set of answers.
