Another way Luciano Cordeiro reinforced Portugal's uniqueness among European nations was by celebrating its greatest figures and key historical moments. This perspective frames his involvement in the various commemorations mentioned earlier.

Of particular note was the commemoration of the centenary of India in 1898. One of the primary goals of this event, which sought international recognition, was to affirm the long-standing Portuguese presence in overseas territories, thus reinforcing their status as Portuguese. Long before 1898, Cordeiro had been writing on this topic, persistently defending Portugal's claims to its overseas territories. The centenary celebrations provided a platform for a surge in literary works related to the Age of Discoveries, a period that marked the start of Portugal’s overseas expansion. Luciano Cordeiro passed away in Lisbon on 24 December 1900.
