In the 13th century, the Egyptians were driven out of Palestine largely due to the military campaigns of the Crusaders, who sought to establish Christian control over the region. The Mamluks, a powerful military class that rose to prominence in Egypt, also played a significant role in expelling the Crusaders from the region by defeating them in key battles, such as the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260. This led to a shift in power dynamics in Palestine, ultimately consolidating Mamluk control over the area.
