What is the origin and meaning of 'the Third World'?
The term "Third World" originated during the Cold War, when several countries (primarily the US and the Soviet Union) were in constant political/economic conflict and competed fiercely with each other. The US and its allies, who were democratic and capitalistic countries, were called the "First World," while the Soviet Union and its affiliated countries were communist and were referred to as the "Second World." "Third World" was then used to describe all the other neutral or non-aligned (as in, not capitalist or communist) countries. However, in modern times, it is often used to refer to poor or socioeconomically less advanced countries. This is because the US and the Soviet Union competed intensely and made incredible advances in technology/education/etc. during the Cold War, leaving the Third World less advanced relative to them. Additionally, many Third World countries were former colonies, and were left to build their own nations/governments when imperialism ended, presenting a disadvantage in trying to develop as quickly as the First and Second Worlds.
What is it meant by the term the third world?
It means people in a third world have a different way of living then us, meaning they dont have as good of a life of us. North Korea is a third world country because no one knows what is inside of it because they block people in & out. Haiti is a third world contry because it doesn't have electricity and cool stuff like we do. It's a REAL poor contry, man. The third world is a term that started right after WW2 during the cold war. It was meant to represent the states that weren't alligned either with the Soviet-Communist side or the US/NATO-Capitalist side. Under that definition many well-developed and rich countries are third world because they are neutral. It was used to show the seperations in economy, politics and society. Capitalist-First world, Communist-Second world, everyone else-Third world. As it was mostly poor countries that were non-aligned, the term became more associated with poor countries and so the more modern concept of third world came into being.

Is Sudan a third world country?
Yes, Sierra Leone is a third world country. Jawaharlal Nehru created the system of first, second, and third world countries and organized them in this manner: First world countries included Western, developed countries. Second world countries included the allies of the Soviet Union. Third world countries were neutral. The problem with this organization was that developed countries could be classified as second or third world based on their political alliance, not on their development level, and vice versa. The more correct answer would be to call Sierra Leone a less economically developed country. This emphasizes a known standard and also serves as an euphemism.
