Generation
It depends on whether you're talking about one or many years. One year's passage. Five years' time.
Describing this generation as the "Silent Generation" is a bit of a misnomer. In fact, many revolutionary leaders in the civil rights movement came from the Silent Generation, along with a wide assortment of artists and writers who changed the arts.

One generation is twenty years.
20 years has been considered to be a generation. However, with many people in industrialized countries waiting until their 30s to have their first child, some are now considering one generation to be 25 or even 30 years. Also, in a non-quantitative sense, one generation is simply the children of one person or couple, and the next generation is all the grandchildren of that person or couple, and so on for each succeeding generation.

The true length of one generation is variable, as it is the time from the birth of one person to the birth of that person's child. As a rule of thumb, 25 years has often been used as an average number, but with many in the western nations having fewer children later in life, some are beginning to use bigger numbers for modern generations. For generations after the middle of the 20th century, some have proposed using 33 years. If a generation is 25 years, then 18 generations is 450 years. If a generation is 33 years, then 18 generations is 594 years.
It used to be 30 years but it's down to 20 now I've heard.
How many years back do you consider 'from France'? Just a few years? From birth? From a previous generation?
There is no specific definition. Many people use 20 years as a general estimate, but it varies. Some use 25 years and some are beginning to use 33 years. A father can be 60 years older than his son and that would make that generation 60 years.
A generation is the time between the birth of a person and the birth of his, or her, children. In individual cases, this can be anywhere between perhaps 14 and 90 years, but on average, it will be much less than 52 years - perhaps 25 or 30 years.
