Istanbul had become a city of Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Tziganes and 58 percent of the population consisted of Turks.

  8. Constantinople/ Istanbul Impact on Population growth Population Growth impacted this city because it had to expand trade, and the exchange of ideas and cultures. These trends would have encouraged East-West exchange without military expeditions or the taking of Jerusalem

  9. Constantinople Istanbul Turning Point The turning point in Constantinople/Istanbul is when Sultan Mehmed II a great military leader captured Constantinople and conquered the territories in Anatolia and the Balkans that comprised the Ottoman Empire's heartland for the next four centuries.Within the conquered city he established a millet or an autonomous religious community, and he appointed the former Patriarch as essentially governor of the city. However, his authority extended only unto the Orthodox Christians of the city, and this excluded the Genoese and Venetian settlements in the suburbs, and excluded the coming Muslim and Jewish settlers entirely.
