people don't use that anymore. it's "developing country" nowOrigin and Meaning:
The term "Third World" emerged during the Cold War, contrasting the "First World" (wealthy, democratic nations like the United States and Western Europe) and the "Second World" (communist nations like the Soviet Union and its allies). The "Third World" encompassed the remaining nations, which were largely developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin
If Webster changed the definition let me know.
