Answer
The Mediterranean was Braudel's first major project. This seminal work, published in 1949, revolutionized historical scholarship by introducing the concept of the "longue durée" (long-term history). Braudel argued that historical events should be understood within the context of their broader geographical and environmental settings, and that the slow-moving forces of economics, climate, and culture shape human history over the long term.
