The Slave Dynasty is also referred to as the Mamluk Dynasty because its rulers were primarily of slave origin, known as "mamluks," which means "owned" in Arabic. These were typically Turks or Central Asians who were enslaved and later rose to power in the Indian subcontinent. The dynasty was established by Qutb al-Din Aibak in the 13th century and is notable for its military prowess and the establishment of significant architectural landmarks in Delhi. The term "Mamluk" highlights the unique background of its rulers, who transitioned from being slaves to sovereigns.
Why did the Mongols fail to conquer Egypt?
The Mongols failed to conquer Egypt primarily due to their overextended supply lines and the logistical challenges of maintaining a prolonged campaign in such a distant region. Additionally, the Mamluks, a formidable military class in Egypt, effectively resisted Mongol advances, notably defeating them at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260. This loss marked a significant turning point, halting Mongol expansion into North Africa and solidifying Mamluk power in the region. Furthermore, the Mongol Empire was also facing internal strife and division, which weakened their military focus and resources.

Did both the Russians under Mongol rule and the Mamluks under Abbassid rule gain power by fighting against their rulers?
Yes. While the Russians did rise up against the Khanate of the Golden Horde (which controlled parts of what is now Russia and the "Stans" and proceeded to expand their territory by fighting the Khanate, the answer with the Mamluks needs more tweaking. The Mamluks did exist during the time of the Abbassids. The Mamluks referred to Turkish slaves that eventually took up arms for themselves. They rose up against the Abbassids when they were weak and created their own government in the Levant and Egypt. Eventually, Ottomans defeated them and their forces became part of the Ottoman Empire's armies. The Mamluks rose up against Ottoman authority at a time (1700s) when the Ottomans were beginning to lose ground and prominence in Europe and the Janissaries were taking a larger stake in Imperial Affairs. This Mamluk Rebellion was swiftly crushed.
