Description
The Cosaques (Cossacks) were warriors, settlers, nomads, and marauders who provided an irregular cavalry in the tsarist Russian army. They were predominantly East Slavic people located in Ukraine and in Russia. The Mamelukes, a military and landholding aristocracy, were prominent in Middle Eastern history. They were recruited originally from non-Arab slaves imported to serve various traditional Muslim rulers as soldiers and officials. The Mamelukes eventually assumed power and between the 13th and 19th centuries Mameluke regimes appeared throughout the Muslim world.
