Question

There are no white countries considered third world? The only non-white first world nation is Japan.

Answer 1

Some of these answers are dead wrong at best or Highly racist at worst.
The truth lies in 2 historical facts
1 The Industrial revolution this came first to areas of Europe and north America and is tied to the second fact
2 Colonialism- Superior industry allowed the European countries and their north American derivatives to leverage their economies and control expanded resources outside the home countries. This lead to a tremendous head start for these peoples who happened to be predominantly white in culture if not totally white by race.This is not due to racial superiority but do to the happenstance of historical progression For prior to the rise of the industrial revolution China was far superior technologically and economically to Europe. Also while Europe was suffering through the dark ages the worlds largest university was in Timbuktu in black Africa. while the peoples of Europe were still in the stone age The semitic peoples of the middle east were crafting in copper and had the largest most economically powerful cities of their time. Yes History and time are the great equalizers Tall mountains become small hills, Great civilizations become world backwaters and young men become old and frail.

Knowledge is power folks learn your history and all will be revealed.

Jim Ex-marine- as a Veteran myself your statements Revolt me. One not are they historically Incorrect they are Racist in the extreme
Point one- China Invented the Canon not the white man the rocket too for that matter. the cannon was perfected By the Persians and then the Muslims not the white man. The chinese were sailing to India Africa and the Americas using the compass Hundreds of years before Europeans. The Mayan calender is still the most accurate calender in the world and was devised by native Americans not Europeans
For the record I will also state I am a very much conservative republican and hardly a liberal revisionist. But I am also a historian which you sir obviously are not!

Alex Brinson- your facts are incorrect the Nubian black culture had writing long before any European culture that goes as well for the Semitic peoples of the fertile crescent.

Answer 2

Your question answered itself. First World, Second World, and Third World are cold war descriptors for countries; sort of a label to tell at a glance what a country's status is. First World countries are countries who--from an economic and sociopolitical view--is aligned to and similar to the American model. That would include Canada, the Marshall Plan rebuilt Western Europe, Australia, and various other "white" countries. It also includes Japan, which was remade during and after the American occupation. Second World countries are Soviet bloc countries--countries aligned to the former Soviet Union. This included Eastern Europe, Soviet-controlled areas of the Middle East, China, and parts of the Pacific Rim. The Third World is everything else; the parts of the world in which neither side would gain an advantage by having influence.

Now, there were countries such as Austria, Finland, and Switzerland that could not be classified under the original conventions, due to neutrality, political view, or just a general distrust of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.. So, it was less than perfect.

In the post-Cold War era, these describers are meaningless. Under new definitions, the First World are now the world's industrial democracies which are technologically advanced and has a GDP per capita of $15,000 or more. Under these rules, there are plenty of "non-white" countries that are First World, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea. In the new era, the term Second World is no longer used and the term Fourth World is being floated around by some to describe countries that are lagging behind the rest of the world or stalled growth-wise.

I hope that helps.

Answer 3

Everything is about to change: Thanks to poor thinking by the US, China has risen and is investing in countries that are considered to be Third World. The US should have done this but pushed war and killing instead in order to steal natural resources of other countries. China is willing to pay.

The First World nations began when they aggressively undertook the slave trade and conquering lands in the 1600's. So much free labor and free resources like gold allowed European countries to build preeminently for centuries. America quickly joined in, as did South Africa and others that whites had infiltrated.

With the current "New World Order" and the "One World Economy" that the First World nations are now pushing to steal other country's resources, everything will change. Because instead of the US getting wealthier, the second and third world countries are rising as America falls. (Neocons stupidly sent jobs and resources overseas).

America can pull together again if they stop thinking that only whites are Superior. Neoconservatives learned last week that America has browned and won't buy "white male superiority" (stupidity) anymore.

If the Neoconservatives can wake up and join the rest of the world as "equals" the world can be saved from the destructive behavior of these white men

Answer 4

Economics determines whether a nation is Developed, developing or undeveloped. Of course the history of the nations and the world have a large effect on the economics of today, with the US and other European powers taking slaves from Africa thus depriving those nations of their most valuable people . Also the European powers had a head start given the Roman Empire and natural resources.

Answer 5

As the term "Nth-world country" is termed by white nations initially, your surprise is quite a surprise. Many Asian nations are fast becoming 1st world countries, while some Eastern Europe nations may be considered 2nd world.

Answer 6

Germany was third world after world war 2.

And there is not a 100% white population in the US.
Maybe that's the reason we got so far as we did.

Not trying to be racist though.

Answer 7

Seems the white culture has advanced more quickly than others. Don't know if its genetic, don't know if its luck, don't know if its geographic or having to do with resources. What I do know is that the earliest records of writing in Africa come from the 13th century AD. Thats very late in the game compared to others. Once again, I am not saying I am a racist, but its not racist to point out the facts, which you have, and I agree with you

Answer 8

it is strange don't you think that the white man was given the inventions of electricity, time , the first air plane , telephone , radio, china invented the black powder , but a white man invented the first cannon or gun to make good use of it. the first electric motor, the first automobile, the list is endless, I heard a professor once say had another race developed these things I agree and they would have enslaved the world, sure the white man had slaves , but, so did the black races and they still do and who sold the slaves to the white man?so you bleeding heart idiots why don't you get your *** out of America and and go where it is more suitable to you? every society who has built a rich and prosperous world has always felt sorry for the darker races and gave in to their whining and begging and was destroyed because of that giving in to them, and America has been giving in to the non producers for to long now and is on a down hill slide , we had better get tough and get rid of this baggage before it drowns us all,

Answer 9

White country?You mean country with 100% white people?
You have along way to go man

Answer 10

thats complicated...I think it is because of intelligence though, hate to say it but I think its true. Whites were first to have advanced technology, first to colonize, first to create world trade, not even close to the first to have slaves, first to have advanced nations and weapons, why is all that true?? Did god just decide to let technology develop in one part of the world, make one part of the world more ambitious???
