In the western Mediterranean European countries, Radicalism was one of the major political movements between 1848 and 1940. Such parties were often labelled 'Democratic', 'Radical democratic', or 'Radical liberal' parties:

* In France:
**Radical Left (1902–1940), parliamentary group of the Independent Radicals.
**Radical-Socialist Party (France) (1901–present)
**Radical Party of the Left (1971–present)

* In Spain, Radicalism took the form of various parties labelled 'democratic', 'progressive', 'radical' and 'republican':
** the Progressive Party (1835–69), formed by former participants in the radical Revolution of 1820;
** the Democratic Party (1849–69) a Spanish progressive party of Jacobin and 1848er inspiration, active in the 1850s.
** the Federal Democratic Republican Party (1868–1910)
** the Democratic Radical Party (1869–80), successor the Progressive Party. It was refounded in 1880, following splinters, as the Progressive Democratic Party (1880–1912)
** the successor Democratic Party (1876–9) reformed as the Possibilist Democratic Party (1879–90)
** The Radical-Republican Party (1908–40), a splinter of the Progressive Democratic Party;

In the Dutch-speaking, German-speaking and Nordic countries, the English or French term Radical was represented by terms that literally translated as 'Free-Minded' (or, alternatively, as 'Freethinker' or ' Rationalist'), including:

* In Switzerland:
** the original Radical Party (1830s–1894), see Regeneration (Switzerland)
** the comparatively left-leaning successor party known as the Radical-Democratic Party (in French) and the ''Free-minded Democratic Party'' (German) (1878 to present)
** the comparatively right-leaning successor party known as the Radical-Liberal Party (1893 to 2009), and its successor the FDP, whose name translates to the ''Free-minded and Liberal Party'' in German and the ''Radical and Liberal Party'' in French (2009–present)
* In Luxembourg:
** the Liberal League (1904–28), although predominantly classical liberal rather than Radical, contained a left-wing faction of Radical ideology;
** the Radical Socialist Party (1925–1932), founded by the splinter of the left-wing of the old Liberal League;
** the Radical Party (Luxembourg) (1928–1932), founded by the splinter of the right-wing of the Radical Socialist Party.
**the Radical Liberal Party (Luxembourg) (1932–1945), formed as a merger of the Radical Socialist Party and Radical Party

**the Political Party of Radicals (1968–1991)
* In Germany, a succession of Radical parties existed:
** The German Free-minded Party (1884 to 1893), which split into two successors:
** the left-leaning Free-minded Union (1893 to 1910)
** and the centre-leaning the Free-minded People's Party (1893 to 1910)
** These merged as the Progressive People's Party (1910 to 1918)
** This was reformed as the German Democratic Party (1918 to 1930).
* In Scandinavia:
** In Denmark, the current Liberal Party began as a Radical Party, hence its name in Danish ( Venstre, 'Left'). The Radical wing split off from the classical-liberal majority in 1905 to form a new party, known as Radikale Venstre (Radical Left).
** In Sweden, the Free-minded National Association (1902 to 1934)
** In Norway, the Free-minded Liberal Party (1909 to 1932) and Free-minded People's Party (1932 to 1935)
** In Finland, the Young Finns (1905-1918), its successor the National Progressive Party (1919–51), and its successor the Free-minded League (1951 to 1965)
