Advertisements
Solution
At the onset of the twentieth century a new school of historiography arose in France, which is known as the ‘Annales School’. The Annales school gave a new direction to history writing. It was recognised now that history is not only about the political events, kings, great leaders and, accordingly, politics, diplomacy and wars but also about the climate, local people, agriculture, trade, technology, means of communication, social divisions and their collective psychology, etc. in the historical times. The Annales School was started by French historians.
