What Wikipedia says

"Gunpowder empires", or "Islamic gunpowder empires", is a term coined by the American historians Marshall G. S. Hodgson and William H. McNeill to describe three early modern Muslim empires: the Ottoman Empire, Safavid Empire, and the Mughal Empire, which flourished between the mid-16th and early 18th centuries.
