The 1950s in the United States of America were marked with a sharp rise in the economy for the first time in almost 30 years and return to the 1920s-type consumer society built on credit and boom-times, as well as the baby boom from returning GIs who went to college under the G.I. Bill and settled in suburban America. Most of the internal conflicts that had developed in earlier decades like women's rights, civil rights, imperialism, and war were relatively suppressed or neglected during this time as a world returning from the brink hoped to see a more consistent way of life as opposed to liberalism and radicalism of the 1930s and 1940s. The effect of suppressing social problems in the 50s would have a significant impact on the rest of the twentieth century.\n\nThe 1950s were also marked with a rapid rise in conflict with the United States and the Soviet Union that would heighten the Cold War to an unprecedented level which would include the Arms Race, Space Race, McCarthyism, and Korean War. Stalin's death in 1953 left an enormous impact in Eastern Europe that forced the Soviet Union to create more liberal policies internally and externally. The rise of Suburbia as well as the growing conflict with the East are the two generally accepted reasons for the conservative domination of this decade.

Well, let's see. Since you've selected 1949 as your starting point, this would preclude the '48 London Olympic games.\n\n1952 - Josey Barthel of Luxemboug won in 3:45.1 \n\n1956 - Ron Delany of Ireland won in 3:41.2\n\n1960 - Herb Elliot of Australia won in 3:35.6\n\n1964 - Peter Snell of New Zealand won in 3:38.1\n\n1968 - Kip Keino of Kenya won in 3:34.9\n\n1972 - Pekka Vasala of Finland won in 3:36.3\n\n1976 - John Walker of New Zealand won in 3:39.17\n\n1980 - Sebastian Coe of Great Britain won in 3:38.40\n\n1984 - Sebastian Coe of Great Britain won in 3:32.52\n\n1988 - Peter Rono of Kenya  won in 3.35.96\n\n1992 - Fermin Cacho of Spain won in 3.40.12\n\n1996 - Noureddine Morceli of  Algeria won in 3.35.78\n\n2000 - Noah Ngeny of Kenya won in 3.32.07\n\n2004 - Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco won in 3.34.18\n\nSo, what we can say is:\n\nThe times improved from 3:45.1 to 3:32.07, well off the current world record of 3:26.0\n\nOne World record was set by Herb Elliot 3:35.6\n\nThe fastest winning time was 3:32.07 by Kenya's Ngeny.\n\nMost of the races were tactical in nature, thus most of the times were well off the the WR or the athletes's PRs. (Especially in 1976, 1980 & 1992)\n\nKenya has won 3 golds, Great Britian and Australia has 2 each. \n\nEurope has produced 6 winners, Africa has 5, and Australia/NZ has 3.
