The roots of national liberalism are to be found in the 19th century, when [[conservative liberalism]] was the ideology of the political classes in most European countries and in particular those of Central Europe, then governed by [[monarchy|monarchies]]. At their origin, national liberals, although pro-business, were not, however, Manchesterian free-traders, that is advocates of [[economic liberalism]], like the mainstream liberals of the 19th century everywhere else in the world, favoring instead cooperation between the government and the national industry by moderate levels of protectionism, the establishment of preferential custom unions, subsidies for [[infant industry]] or companies considered of strategic importance for national development, and various forms of incipient industrial planning. In [[German language|German-speaking]] countries, national liberals were also in favour of a more authoritarian or conservative political regime because of the multi-ethnic character or heterogeneous nature of countries like the [[Austrian Empire]] (later officially renamed [[Austria-Hungary]]) or the newly created [[Germany]]. |

The term national liberalism was mainly used in German-speaking countries like Germany and Austria during the 19th century,[1][page needed][2][page needed][3][page needed] where "National-Liberal" parties were long in government. It also became influential in nearby countries, like Romania.
In 19th-century Germany believers in national liberalism differed from liberal nationalists in that they believed in a more authoritarian presence in Europe and a strong Germanic Empire. Liberal nationalists, such as Max Weber, were looking towards a democratic Germany in cooperation with the other European powers.[citation needed]
In Austria, national liberalism has remained the basis of one of the three Lager, or ideological camps, in the country. Historically, this has been represented by the Freedom Party,[citation needed] but they have recently been joined by a splinter, the Alliance for the Future of Austria. Germany's Free Democratic Party continues to feature a national-liberal faction,[4] which holds a consistently Eurosceptic position, differently from the rest of the party.[5] In Romania the National Liberal Party (PNL), founded in 1875, revived in 1990 and enlarged in 2014, has also been part of the national-liberal tradition.
