The first time this is brought up is when the Muslims asked the sultan for cannons to fend off the Portuguese. Many years after the Portuguese takeover, the Ruler of the Sultanate of Aceh wrote a letter requesting cannons to stop the Portuguese ships from attacking and taking their goods (Doc. 4).

The Mughal Empire had different origins compared to the Ottoman Empire, especially when it comes to the influence for their creation.
