== Terminology ==
The term national republicanism was coined in 1910 by Hungarian writer Mihály Kun, who called it ''a nacionalizmus republikanizmusa'' (a republicanism of nationalism). It was soon translated in a French newspaper as ''le national-républicanisme'', giving way to the English term national republicanism not long after.

While influenced by numerous traditions, three main factors are considered when determining the formation of modern national republican ideology. These components are thought to be critical precedents to the Russian Revolution, which birthed the first successful national republican state in 1926. They are;
* the achievements of the [[Augustine Wars|Augustine period]] (late 18th century, early 19th century),
* the works of French intellectual [[Achille Ferré Bazaine]] & his associates (late 19th century),
* and the events of the American Spring of Nations (early 20th century).
Augustine Spiga's success in overthrowing the Bourbon monarchy of France in the 1790s and abolishing the ancient feudal state had profound domestic effects on France, as well as internationally. The establishment of a republic driven by popular sovereignty and revolutionary ideology, only to be extinguished with the rise of the [[History of France#Valentine period (1815-1874)|Valentine monarchy]] in the 1810s, solidified the belief that a national rebirth (''renaissance de la Nation'') can only be achieved via unabashed revolution against monarchy and traditionalism.
Industrialization of much of Europe during the 19th century uplifted concepts such as liberalism, imperialism, and capitalism into public life. Numerous philosophers and ideologues emerged during this time of change, including the French [[Achille Ferré Bazaine]]. A Marseilles native and avid critic of King [[Louis XVII]] as well as the [[Communardism|communard movement]], he is considered an imminent forefather of national republican thought. Bazaine centered his ideas around rational nationalism, believing that rationality and Enlightenment thought naturally lead to the concepts of the nation-state and centralization of power. He imagined that this should be primarily achieved with a national rebirth where traditional, anachronistic power structures are to be dismantled and should be replaced by ideologically-driven nation-states, an idea he terms ''une nation vivifiée'' (the animated nation). His counter-revolutionary activities eventually led to his infamous assassination in 1879.
In the early years of the 20th century, many North American nations began their own so-called national rebirths; battling colonialism, autocracy, and establishing their own states ideologically independent from the empires of Europe. American events inspired many in Europe, particularly in Russia, where the nationalist-republican Vosstanist Workers' Party was formed in 1906, merely years after [[History of New Netherland#The Republican era (1903-)|New Netherland gained their sovereignty]]. A year later, the League of Nationalists was formed in Manchester. In 1910, Hungarian writer Mihály Kun coined the term national republicanism. These movements eventually culminated in the triumph of the [[Russian Revolution]] in the 1920s.
