Why did the byzntine military grow weaker?

There were several factors that contributed to the decline of the Byzantine military. These included constant wars and conflicts that drained resources, frequent changes in leadership and political instability, the rise of powerful enemies such as the Seljuks and Ottomans, and a decline in the quality of the military education and training system. Additionally, the reliance on foreign mercenaries weakened the effectiveness and cohesion of the Byzantine army.


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.
