The **Portuguese Republican Party** ([Portuguese](/source/Portuguese_language): *Partido Republicano Português*, pronounced [\[pɐɾˈtiðu ʁɛpuβliˈkɐnu puɾtuˈɣeʃ\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Portuguese)) was a [Portuguese](/source/Portugal) [political party](/source/Political_party) formed during the late years of the [constitutional monarchy](/source/History_of_Portugal_(1834%E2%80%931910)) that proposed and later brought about the replacement of the monarchy with the [Portuguese First Republic](/source/Portuguese_First_Republic).[1]

When the Republic was established on the [5 October 1910 Revolution](/source/5_October_1910_Revolution), the members of the party initially stood together, but soon began splitting into different parties, including the [Democratic Party](/source/Democratic_Party_(Portugal)), [Republican Union](/source/Republican_Union_(Portugal)), and [Evolutionist Party](/source/Evolutionist_Party), some of which themselves later merged or split to form the [Democratic Leftwing Republican Party](/source/Democratic_Leftwing_Republican_Party), [Reformist Party](/source/Reformist_Party_(Portugal)), [Centrist Republican Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Centrist_Republican_Party&action=edit&redlink=1), [Popular Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Popular_Party_(First_Republic)&action=edit&redlink=1), [Radical Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Radical_Party_(Portugal)&action=edit&redlink=1), [Republican Liberal Party](/source/Republican_Liberal_Party_(Portugal)), [Liberal Republican Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liberal_Republican_Union&action=edit&redlink=1), [Reconstitution Party](/source/Reconstitution_Party) and [Nationalist Republican Party](/source/Nationalist_Republican_Party_(Portugal)).
