c) The Tulunid Dynasty was not an example of Egypt
ruling over other nations. In fact, it was an example of Egypt being
ruled over by outsiders. The short-lived Tulunid Dynasty was not of
Egyptian origin. The dynasty's founder was a Turk named Ahmad ibn Tulun.
He arrived in Egypt in 868 as vice governor for the Abbasid caliphate,
which was based in Baghdad. He more or less broke away from the Abbasid
caliphate and had his own little empire for about ten years, until
caliphal troops were sent against him and he fled from Egypt and
occupied Syria.
