 Republicanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Republicanism is the idea of a nation being governed as a republic.
Republicanism refers to both the advocacy for this form of government and the ideology of this movement.
This terminology was developed by Zera Fink in the 1960s but some modern scholars such as Brugger consider the term confusing as it might lead some to believe that "classical republic" refers to the system of government used in the ancient world.

Republicanism is the political theory that holds that the best form of government is a republic as opposed to a monarchy.
In the case of Italy and Greece, the abolition of the monarchy was intended because the monarchy had become discredited for cooperations with Mussolini in the former case, and the Greek generals in the latter.
Republicanism can also mean the doctrines of the Republican Party of the United States.
