3) generations, which means that (for the history side):
a) not a lot of people who lived in that era are still around, so nasty
memories wouldn't get brought back to life (unlike the artist who did the death

For the future, 70 years is 3 generations forward, far enough that there's no
chance of confusion with reality or potentially realistic technology.
