First European Cities in History to Reach 100,000 People

Thanks for letting me know. Change pending.

Thanks! Well, chances are that you kinda have to be history buff to get some of these. Edirne was the first Ottoman capital on European soil in the 14th and 15th century, which rapidly rose to prominence under their rule. Said city went into decline in the late 17th century and dropped under 100,000 again until the late 1970s.

The impact of the Industrial Revolution in the U.K. can definitely be seen here, with the rise of many cities in the north of the country.

Rouen was among France's biggest cities for the longest time, even serving as the 2nd or 3rd largest city in the entire country at times. Eventually though, the city started to fall behind in terms of population and stagnated. By 1900, Rouen had already fallen to being the 12th largest in France compared to being the 4th largest city in 1850.

That should already work.

Thanks! Adrianople should already work.

"Country" indicates the modern-day boundary the corresponding cities were within. Sarai was in fact within modern-day Russia.

I believe I might've had it added before this quiz got featured. Might've accidentally gotten removed.

The city was mostly hovering around 30,000 - 60,000 inhabitants from Roman times until the late 18th century. It finally hit 100,000 around 1896.
