It became capital in 324, while it was still known under the name of Byzantium and it fell under the Ottoman rule in 1453. The name was changed to Istambul in 1930.

The walls were very tall and thick. They still exist today in parts.
<span>The story of Andrew Carnegie is an example of an extreme case of Philanthropic Acts. He was a Scottish-American industrialist that paved the way for the expansion of the American steel industry during the 19th century.
