Short title
generation timeline
Image title
Timeline of generations in the Western world as in its Wikipedia article with notable events by CMG Lee. Life expectancy and retirement ages are approximate due to variations in place and time. In the SVG file, click or hover over a generation to highlight it.
Modifications by Rich Farmbrough. Aligned generations more accurately, let generation thickness reflect assigned years. Made trailing edge same slope as leading, so that it doesn't look as if the first born live longest. Did not touch the legend etc, so that may need adjusting to cope with my changes, but thought it better to leave it in for future use. I think the same applies to the wars and other events.
