Between 1792 and 1916, Austria only had 3 emperors: Francis I/II, Ferdinand I, and Franz Joseph. Francis was Franz Joseph's grandfather and himself became emperor around the same time George Washington became US President (Francis was 7 years old when the American Revolutionary War started).

Less than 2 lifetimes separate the presidencies of George Washington (1789-1797) and Donald Trump (2017-2021).

To give a random example of this kind of crossover, the last Napoleonic Wars veteran (Vincent Markiewicz) was born in 1795 (when Washington was president) and died in1903, while Emma Morano was born in 1899 (when Markiewicz was still alive) and died in 2017 (when Trump was president).
