What is the source for this? I’m suspicious of the idea that Constantinople was more populous than Paris for very long post 1204. A quick google search says that Paris was probably larger by the time Nicaea recaptured Constantinople in 1261 (upper estimates being 75k for Constantinople and 110k for Paris but both are probably lower). Obviously these estimates are not very good so if you’re getting this from somewhere better I’d like to know

Correct me if I’m mistaken, but as far as I recall, Córdoba was larger than Constantinople during its time as the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate

It has no “home continent”. It’s a bunch of islands in the middle of the ocean the same way Hawaii is. So America and AfroEurasia are the only two continents.

Moscow is no European city.

Kiev in east Europe and Paris in west were the most populated cities in Europe. Constantinople – in the middle east. At least our historians state this according historical documents (taxes, warriors, etc). After Mongols invaded, Kiev lost its population

All of them fell apart because of woke policies
Largest city is back to Istanbul, not Moscow.
