By the mid-15th century, the Byzantine Empire had collapsed and the various Crusades that had taken place in the region had largely disrupted the overland routes of the Silk Road and trade.

Em 1822, Laurentino Gomes compara diferentes relatos sobre o dia 7 de Setembro e a proclamação da independência. A verdade é que esse fatídico dia foi bem menos épico do que a pintura “Independência ou Morte”, de Pedro Américo, nos mostra.
