This Term was originated during the Cold War (Periods) Between Westen & Russian Power Blocs.
The Term, 'Third World Countries', is NOW (without any reference to the Extinct Blocs) used to denote Countries with a LOW UN Human Development Index. These Nations are not as Industrialized or Technologically Advanced as OECD Countries.
Still, there is no Objective Definition for Third World Countries as such.
They're now Eupheumistically called , 'Developing Countries' as diffrent from 'Advanced Countries' / 'Developed Countries'

Third World is a term first coined in 1952 by French demographer Alfred Sauvy to distinguish nations that aligned themselves with neither the West nor with the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War.
