After the 1516 Battle of Marj Dabiq, the Ottoman Empire took control of Jerusalem from which sultanate?

  • Mamluk
  • Ayyubid
  • Ummayyad
  • Seljuq
Explanation

The Ottoman Empire took control of Jerusalem from the Mamluk Sultanate after the Battle of Marj Dabiq in 1516. The Mamluk Sultanate was weakened by internal conflicts and political instability, which made it vulnerable to Ottoman expansion. The Ottomans, under the leadership of Sultan Selim I, defeated the Mamluk army in this battle, allowing them to subsequently capture and establish their control over Jerusalem, marking the end of Mamluk rule in the region.
