Fernand Braudel was the foremost French historian of the postwar era and a leading figure in the Annales School. His work centered on long-term socioeconomic structures, with major projects including "The Mediterranean," "Civilization and Capitalism," and the unfinished "Identity of France." He played a central role in establishing the Annales School as the dominant force in historical research in France and internationally after 1950. His approach emphasized large-scale historical patterns and contributed to the development of World Systems Theory.
