“Third world” just meant Africa, but picked up the “poor” connotation from those ads in the 80s with the starving african children, a “Nimrod” affect.
If you want to get pedantic about it, 3rd world originally meant countries that didn’t take sides in the cold war. 1st world was US and western European democracies and their client states and allies, 2nd world was USSR and their client states and allies.
3rd world was Africa, India, a lot of SE Asia and some Central/South American countries.
Fun fact, Finland and Sweden were also third world countries under this definition.
and Ireland too!
No, that was also a later definition. 1, 2, 3 were new world, old world, Africa.
No, that’s the origin of the term.
Fucking read a book dude
You’re wrong on this occasion.
If you were right it would be really easy to prove, no?
under neither definition does China fall under third world.
China is not in the African continent and it was (mostly) in the USSR side during the Cold War.
