Its origin can be traced to the reign of King Chulalongkorn in the late-19th century. Chulalongkorn adopted the European trend of nationalism and centralization that was then prevalent and implemented it in Siam. Some of the actions that he took were to attempt to clearly define Siam's borders, promote a civic religion based on the Chakri Dynasty, the palace-controlled council of monks, and the culture of central Siam. The promotion of civic culture faced some temporary setbacks during the coup which brought about the end of the absolute monarchy in the 1930s and during a few years after World War II. Nevertheless, the rise of Rama IX after World War II saw a renewed effort by royalists and nationalists to reestablish the primacy of civic culture in the country as a way to strengthen the monarchy.
