preceding
Agree with other answerers in terms of the meaning - "preceding" is just another possibility. "voraufgegangen" is a rarer, but not necessarily wrong, alternative to "vorangegangen" or "vorhergehend".

previous
"vorangegangen" would be the more common term in German. I assume that the meaning is the same: previous

previous
"voraufgegangen" ist wohl ein Schreibfehler, ich würde sagen "vorige" oder "vorhergehende" Jahrzehnte. Als Übersetzung scheint mir "previous" am besten zu sein.
