Egypt's Turkic dynasties era: Egypt's golden periods

[Böri]

Egypt lived its most glorious and prosperous days and years under the rule of the 3 different Turkic dynasties which ruled the Nile country at 3 different eras.

1. Tulunids (868-905)

Ṭūlūnid Dynasty, first local dynasty of Egypt and Syria to exist independently of the ʿAbbāsid caliphate in Baghdad, ruling 868–905. Its founder, Aḥmad ibn Ṭūlūn, a Turk, arrived in Egypt in 868 as vice governor and promptly (868–872) established a military and financial foothold in the province by organizing an independent Egyptian army and securing the management of the Egyptian and Syrian treasuries.

2. Bahri line Mamluks (1250-1382)

The Bahri dynasty or Bahriyya Mamluks (Turkish: Bahri Hanedanı, al-Mamalik al-Bahariyya - المماليك البحرية) was a Mamluk dynasty of mostly Cuman-Kipchak Turkic origin that ruled the Egyptian Mamluk Sultanate from 1250 to 1382.
In 1250, when the Ayyubid sultan as-Salih Ayyub died, the Mamluks he had owned as slaves murdered his son and heir al-Muazzam Turanshah, and Shajar al-Durr the widow of as-Salih became the Sultana of Egypt. She married the Atabeg (commander in chief) Emir Aybak and abdicated, Aybak (Kwharezmian Oghuz Turcoman) becoming Sultan. He ruled from 1250 to 1257.

3. Ottoman Turk period (1517-1798)

Selim’s subjugation of the Dulkadir (Dhū al-Qadr) principality of Elbistan (now in Turkey) brought the Ottomans into conflict with the Mamlūk rulers (Circassian Burji line) of Syria and Egypt, who regarded Dulkadir as their protégé. Selim defeated the Mamlūk armies at the battles of Marj Dābiq (north of Aleppo; Aug. 24, 1516) and Raydānīyah (near Cairo; Jan. 22, 1517), thus bringing Syria, Egypt, and Palestine under Ottoman rule. In Cairo the sharif of Mecca presented Selim with the keys to that holy city, a symbolic gesture acknowledging Selim as the leader of the Islāmic world.

In 1798 the French under Napoleon invaded Egypt and left it in 1801. After 4 years of vacuum, Albanian Mohammed Ali took over Egypt and controlled it until 1848.

Egypt's most prosperous days were under these Turkic dynasties. Especially the Bahri Mamluk era is still remembered as the golden era of Egypt. Baibars (Cuman-Kipchak) even surpassed Ramses II as he did what was never done before: defeating the Mongol Empire's army in close combat.
Back then during Baibars' era, Egypt was even called Turkey. It became a second Turkiye.

Yeah cool, the funny thing is tulunids and mamluks didn't see themselves as turks and didn't care about other turks.

actually mamluks along with the egyptian army fought the mongols ( turks ancestors) and defeated them in ain jalut battle, that's number 1.

second, mamluks fought also ottomans(their brothers), that's number 2.

number 3 which is the most important thing, Egypt conquered south turkey and Turkish sultan had to ask the russian and english help.

The First Egyptian-Ottoman War, First Turco-Egyptian War or First Syrian War (1831–1833) was brought about by Muhammad Ali Pasha's demand to the Ottoman Empire for control of Arab Greater Syria, as reward for his assistance in Crete against Greece. As a result, Muhammad Ali's forces temporarily gained control of Syria, and advanced as far north as Adana.





Outraged, Ali sent his army into Syria under the command of his son Ibrahim Pasha, and his navy, under command of General Ibrahim Yakan, landed at Jaffa. The Egyptians rapidly occupied Jerusalem and the coastal regions of Palestine and Lebanon.

Several battles between the Egyptians and Ottomans ensued. At a village south of Homs on the Orontes, on April 14, 1832, the Egyptians under Ibrahim Pasha defeated an Ottoman force of 15,000 under Othman Pasha. After reducing Acre, the Egyptians occupied Damascus on June 14, 1832. A new Ottoman army under Mohammed Pasha advanced south to Homs, and a major battle took place on July 8, 1832 on the southern approaches to that city. The Ottomans were routed with large losses and the Egyptians occupied Homs on July 9; then Aleppo on July 17, and Antioch on July 28. On July 29 another major battle took place at the Pass of Beilan through the Nur Mountains, where the Egyptians defeated an Ottoman force of 45,000 equipped with 160 guns, under Hussein Pasha and captured 25 guns along with considerable war booty. The Egyptians occupied Beilan on July 30, then Tarsus and Adana on July 31. At this point the Egyptian army halted, having occupied the Arabic-speaking regions it had intended to annex to Egypt, and awaited instructions from Ibrahim's father, Muhammad Ali Pasha in Cairo.

In the ensuing lull, the Sultan recalled the Grand Vizier Reshid Pasha and organised a new army of 80,000 to repel the Egyptians. Anticipating a final major battle, Ibrahim set about to capture territory in Southern Turkey to secure his supply lines. On December 21, 1832, the Battle of Konya was fought, where the Ottomans were easily defeated and the Egyptians thereafter threatened Constantinople. In February of the following year, the Ottoman Empire entered a defensive alliance with Russia and received military assistance from Nicholas I of Russia.
Foreign pressure[edit]

The Egyptians were eventually forced to call off the invasion because of British and French pressure.[1] Although they initially backed the Pasha, they threatened military action against him if he did not halt his advance. They feared that if the Egyptians were to continue advancing, an already severely weakened Ottoman Empire, would collapse and leave a power vacuum, in which Russia could possibly take or gain advantage.
Aftermath[edit]

The war ended in 1833, and Egypt was left in control of Syria and much of Arabia. At the Convention of Kutahya, held in May 1833, Syria and Adana were ceded to Egypt, and Ibrahim became governor-general of the two provinces.[2] Later that same year, the Ottomans signed the Treaty of Hünkâr İskelesi with Russia, in which both countries agreed to mutual assistance should either empire enter a military conflict.

But the settlement of the Peace Agreement of Kutahya was not satisfactory to either party, resulting in the Second Ottoman-Egyptian War (1839–1841).

Yeah cool, the funny thing is tulunids and mamluks didn't see themselves as turks and didn't care about other turks.

Is that why they named their state "al-Dawla al-Turkiyya", LOL? Turkiyya/Turkey was the offical name of the Mamluk State.

Turkish was the spoken language of the Mamluk elite, they regarded Turkish as their caste's vehicle of communication. Even the Burji dynasty kept using Turkish.

@ Egyptian
Stop distorting history.
Under Bahri (Turkish) dynasty, Egypt was called as al-Dawla al-Turkiyya. The Turkish line Mamluks ruled Egypt until 1382.
Tatar influxes from the Pontic-Caspian steppes to Egypt ended in mid 14th century, Mamluk Sultans started to bring in Circassians. Circassians became majority of the Mamluk class and took over from Turks in 1382.
So the Ottoman Turks didnt fight Turkish Mamluks in 1516 and 1517. It was Circassian warriors who were ruling Egypt back then.
