Nationalism in Quebec can be divided into three periods: Canadiens' republican nationalism (1800s–1840s), French Canadian ethnoreligious nationalism (1840s–1960), and Québécois territorial and linguistic nationalism (1960s–). After the failure of republican insurrections in 1837–38, the national project was reoriented around ethnocultural survival, with Catholicism becoming an important national marker. During the 1960s' Quiet Revolution a new generation of activists advocated the modernization of the nation though the provincial state, whose functions and institutional infrastructure were radically expanded. It was during that decade that French Canadians living in Quebec adopted the name “Québécois” to reflect a new secular, territorially based identity primarily articulated around language. In the mid‐1970s, proposals for sovereignty entered mainstream politics. Two referenda were held on the question but lost (1980, 1995). After the focus on language policies in the 1970s–1990s, the most significant debates today concern the place of religion in the public sphere.
