Febvre fought in WWI and took up a position at the University of Strasbourg in 1919 when the province was returned to France. In 1929, he founded the journal Annales d'histoire, économique et sociale with Marc Bloch, from which the name of their distinctive style of history was taken. In 1933 Febvre was appointed to a chair at the Collège de France. He published vigorously throughout the thirties and early forties, although WWII interrupted his work. The war also resulted in the death of Marc Bloch, and so Febvre became the man who carried the Annales into the post-war period, most notably by training Fernand Braudel and cofounding the VI section of the École Pratique des Hautes Etudes, later known as EHESS. Febvre died in 1956.
