Fernand Paul Achille Braudel (French: [fɛʁnɑ̃ bʁodɛl]; 24 August 1902 – 27 November 1985) was a French historian. His scholarship focused on three main projects: The Mediterranean (1923–49, then 1949–66), Civilization and Capitalism (1955–79), and the unfinished Identity of France (1970–85). He was a member of the Annales School of French historiography and social history in the 1950s and 1960s.
Braudel emphasized the role of large-scale socioeconomic factors in the making and writing of history.[2] In a 2011 poll by History Today magazine, he was named the most important historian of the previous 60 years.[3]
