| | Today it is largely meaningless, due to the fact that many "democratic republics" were not actually democratic, as well as the fact that many republics who are democratic don't use the title of "democratic republic" in their official names. | | | The term "Democratic Republic" has formed part of several governments' official names. | | | The reasons why countries call themselves Democratic Republics are also very different from case to case, but the common denominator seems to be that all these countries were created as a result of a revolution or war of independence against a domestic or foreign regime that was widely seen as tyrannical, oppressive and undemocratic. |
