What are some novels that concentrate on the main characters but go through historical periods of 5-10 years and overlap with some major event in history? I know of The Winds of War, The Lanny Budd Series, and the Radetzky March.

If I recall correctly the Radetzkymarsch only features a small bit about WWI which constitutes the end of the novel. In that vein, Der Zauberberg and Die Strudlhofstiege might fit your criteria as well. Both novels span several years, but touch on WWI only briefly if my memory serves me right. If you want to go back a bit in time and consider the Napoleonic wars, War and Peace is the obvious choice.

V. by Pynchon could work for this
