Why are some countries MEDCs and others LEDCs for historical reasons?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Countries have become categorized as either More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) or Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) due to historical events such as colonization, industrialization, and global trade relationships. Colonization by stronger nations has often led to exploitation and underdevelopment of colonized regions, perpetuating economic disparities. Industrialization and access to resources have also played a significant role in shaping the economic status of countries. Global trade relationships that favor certain countries over others have further exacerbated these inequalities.

Additionally, global market demand for raw materials has often driven this specialization rather than enabling economic diversification.
