Oobleck's statement doesn't give us an incredibly clear view of how long ago it happened, other than the fact that it was likely within a human lifetime.

Most teens look at something that happened 50 years ago and think "That was such a long time ago", while historians look at it and think "That was so recent."

As far as history is concerned, anything within 100 years before present day was recent, since

1. People who were there when it happened are likely still alive in the present day. The people who were older adults may not still be around, but the people who were children, teens, or young adults could be.

2. The effects of an event in history can be felt through generations, as historical events affect what people do and how people and society develop. It takes many generations before the effects can weaken, and even then, the effects can lead to other historical events.
