Correct me if I'm wrong but technically India is 1st World

In a nut Shell, along with USA, Australia, NZ, Singapore, France, Poland, Holland, (even Russia at the time) etc........ie anyone who was aligned with the "Allied Forces" during WW2.

2nd world was anyone allied with the "Axis Forces" during WW2 ie, Japan, Italy, etc.

All the rest were classed as 3rd World.

History lesson over!

Bad Robot, I do believe your "history lesson" is in fact flawed. I'm being pedantic here but what about neutral countries????

PS to be even more pedantic, it's a socio-economic lesson, not a history lesson.

And by the way, I'm correcting you.
