Differs. Maybe in wartime much bigger effect. Hell they might even take a decent share of Circassians from the Russians. They would be an military elite in Egypt.
Depending on if Egypt is selfruling within the Ottoman Empire or just autonomous with hereditary rule. If it is the latter they may affect hugely when the Ottomans become a constitutional monarchy.
I was thinking about it being self-ruling within the empire. Maybe Egypt would become an independent constitutional monarchy as part of the peace deal ITTL’s WW1? Even if the Egyptians are self-ruling, they might make a constitution after the Ottomans make theirs, in order to not be seen as backwards. Ismā’īl the Magnificent was pretty pro-western, so he might make a constitution.
