  Wikipedia: Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire (sometimes referred to in diplomatic circles as the "Sublime Porte" or simply as "the Porte") was a Turkish state that comprised Turkey, part of the Middle East, North Africa and south-eastern Europe in the 14th to 20th centuries, established by the Seljuq Turkish tribe of Söğüt in western Anatolia.
The Ottoman Empire was among the world's most powerful polities in the 16th and 17th centuries when the countries of Europe felt threatened by its steady advances through the Balkans.
The Empire had suffered hard from the Interregnum; the Mongols were still at large in the east, even though Timur Lenk had died in 1405; many of the Christian kingdoms of the Balkans had broken free of Ottoman control; and the land, especially Anatolia, had suffered hard from the war.

 Mamluks in Egyptian Politics and Society, The Canadian Journal of History - Find Articles
Being Mamluk is predicated on control of power, "reproduction by recruitment from abroad," and "permanent" separation from "ruled subjects." Access to power underlines either the generational gap between the ruling foreign born and their disenfranchised sons or the hierarchical chasm separating the "amir class" from "rank and file" proteges (Levanoni, Richards, Haarman).
This postulation underlines the conversion of the Ottoman interregnum into a graveyard for Mamluk power and identity and hence the genesis of the "neo-Mamluks" is explained in terms of either survival and "re-emergence" of their progeny or mutation and the birth of hybrid factions (Winter, Hathaway).
The demarcation of Mamluk identity in binary opposition to "native Egyptians" and the use of the Ottoman conquest as a referent for contrast between "Turco-Circassian" and "neo-Mamluk" phases permeates the sections on "culture" and "property," sections which are collapsible.
