Underdeveloped countries are synonymous with less developed countries, usually due to an imbalance in trade in which the undeveloped country is dominated and exploited by a dominant country. i.e. from the start of the 17th century until the mid to end of the 20th century Africa was exploited under colonialism when its economic structure was moulded to suit the needs of the dominant countries (Portugal and britain), in recent times this exploitation is due to debt and debt control.
