''' Fernand Braudel''' (1902-1985), was the foremost [[French]] historian of the postwar era, and a leader of the [[Annales School]] which emphasizes geographical influences and very-long-term trends over the centuries, and rejects Marxist [[class conflict]] models. He organized his scholarship around three great projects, each worth several decades of intense study: "The Mediterranean" (1923–49, then 1949-66), "Civilization and Capitalism" (1955–79), and the unfinished "Identity of France" (1970–85). His reputation stems in part from his writings, but even more from his success in making the ''Annales'' School the most important engine of historical research in France and much of the world after 1950.

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "Under Fernand Braudel’s direction the Annales school promoted a new form of history, replacing the study of leaders with the lives of ordinary people and replacing examination of politics, diplomacy, and wars with inquiries into climate, demography, agriculture, commerce, technology, transportation, and communication, as well as social groups and mentalities. While aiming at a “total history,” it also yielded dazzling microstudies of villages and regions. Its international influence on historiography has been enormous."<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fernand-Braudel Fernand Braudel]</ref>
