The terms "third world" and "first world" originated during the Cold War to categorize countries based on their political affiliations (third world being non-aligned or neutral, first world being aligned with the Western bloc). Today, "first world" is commonly used to refer to developed, industrialized countries with high standards of living, whereas "third world" is used to refer to developing or less developed countries with lower standards of living.

Is Afghanistan a third world country?

Yes. When the term "third world" was first coined, it referred to those countries outside of the "first world", which were those countries that were strongly Westernized and allied with the United States, and outside of the "second world", which were those countries under the sway of Communism and allied with the Soviet Union. As Afghanistan was a non-aligned country, it was considered a "third world country". More recently, the term "third world" country has come to mean that a country is underdeveloped and Afghanistan certainly qualifies under this definition. Large swathes of the country are illiterate, there is barely any infrastructure or industrialization, and there is rampant poverty and starvation.
