How did the invention of gunpowder contribute to the Ottomans' conquest of Constantinople?
The invention of gunpowder significantly enhanced the Ottomans' military capabilities, particularly in their conquest of Constantinople in 1453. The Ottomans utilized large cannons, notably the massive "Basilica" cannon, to breach the formidable walls of the city, which had withstood many sieges. This new artillery technology allowed them to overcome the defensive stronghold of Constantinople, ultimately leading to the city's fall and the establishment of Ottoman dominance in the region. Additionally, gunpowder weaponry contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness of Ottoman forces during the siege.

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.
