Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Portuguese–Mamluk naval war was a naval conflict between the Egyptian state of the Mamluks and the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean, following the expansion of the Portuguese after sailing around the Cape of Good Hope in 1497. The conflict took place during the early part of the 16th century, from 1505 to the fall of the Mamluk Sultanate in 1517. The Ottomans took up the task of fighting the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean, especially through their admiral Selman Reis, who in 1525 occupied the Aden and Yemen with a fleet of 18 ships and 299 cannons, forcing the Portuguese to retreat. The Ottoman failed however in the 1538 Siege of Diu. Egypt, on the other hand, lost its status as a great power, and, deprived of the ressources of the Indian Ocean trade, essentially faded into the background for the next three centuries.
