Reactionary started, as the name implies, as a reaction to the French Revolution, identifying as absolute monarchists opposed to the revolution. In this time, Reactionary organized opposition to the progressive sociopolitical and economic changes brought by the revolution; and they fought to restore the temporal authority of the Church and Crown.

In the post-Napoleonic world, Europe generally returned its pre-revolution state, with the old French monarchy being restored. During the age of Metternich (1815-1848) Europe was generally led by [[Classical Conservatism|conservative]] and reactionary leaders. These regimes were characterized as being [[Monarchism|monarchist]], [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]], and [[Counter-Enlightenment|counter-enlightenment]]. The reactionary state of Europe took a strong hit during the July Revolution in 1830, in which the reactionary monarchy of France was replaced by a more [[Enlightenment|enlightened]] one, and then the revolutions of 1848, in which much of Europe changed towards [[Constitutional Monarchism|constitutional monarchy]]. Throughout the second half of the 19th century only Russia remained as a dominant reactionary power under the rule of Alexander III (1881-1894) By the time WWI came around the world existed in a mostly [[Classical Liberalism|Liberal]] and enlightened state and reactionary ideology no longer held power. There is some debate over whether or not the Italian [[Fascism|Fascists]] and German [[National Socialism|Nazis]] should be considered reactionaries, with proponents of fascism often claiming not, while opponents claim that it is.

In recent times "Reactionary" tends to be used more as a pejorative by progressive and socialist political movements, but the term "neo-reactionary" has more recently been applied to, and sometimes a self-description of, an informal group of online political theorists known as the [[File:Nrx.png]] [[Neoreactionarism|Dark Enlightenment]].
