This may be the only thing I agree with that dude about. Add
The Sudan and
The Ukraine, the Northwest Territories, and Danzig to the list, among others that I have probably forgotten.
I will concede Istanbul to the Turks, although they really should have changed the name in 1453, not some 450 years later.
