Capture of Cairo

From Warlike

Q5036992




The capture of Cairo was the final major engagement of the Ottoman Mamluk War of 1516-1517. The city of Cairo, the capital of the Mamluk Sultanate, was sacked and fell into the hands of the Ottoman forces led by Sultan Selim I during the 27-30 January 1517. Following Cairo's fall and the subsequent execution of the last Mamluk Sultan and member of the Abbasid dynasty: Tuman Bay II, the Mamluk Sultanate was absorbed into the expanding Ottoman Empire. Following its conquest, Cairo saw its status reduced from the previously the capital of the Mamluk Sultanate to a provincial city governed from Constantinople. The economic trends from the later years of the Mamluk Sultanate continued under Ottoman rule, with the country being increasingly subject to taxation by the imperial government and its status as a military base to launch further expansion into surrounding lands.
