What was Braudel's view on time in history?

  • Short-term

  • Long-term

  • Immediate

  • Ephemeral

Answer

Long-term, according to Braudel, is the most fundamental level of historical analysis. It encompasses the slow-moving, deep-seated structures of society, such as geography, climate, and technology, which shape the course of events over centuries. Braudel believed that these long-term forces provide the context for the more immediate and visible events that historians typically focus on.
