Some countries that disappeared from the map after the Cold War include the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany. These countries either split into multiple independent nations or underwent significant political restructuring.
Western Europe, including countries like the United Kingdom, France, and West Germany, was home to nations that strongly supported the United States during the Cold War. These countries were part of alliances such as NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and played key roles in countering Soviet influence in Europe.
First, Second, and Third World countries are terms used in the Cold War, but also used in modern day to represent development. First World nations can mean countries sided with the US during the Cold War or a highly developed country. So in Cold War terms, yes; Angola, Somalia, and Mauritius are considered first world nations. And in terms of development, yes; the Seychelles, Libya, and Mauritius are considered first world nations.
There is no universally accepted definition of "third world country" as it was a term used during the Cold War to categorize countries based on political ideologies. However, based on common understanding, roughly one-third of the world's countries could be considered third world countries.
The concept of "second world countries" is no longer commonly used. It was previously used to refer to communist or socialist countries during the Cold War. Some countries that were historically considered second world included countries like the Soviet Union, China, and Cuba.
The term "third world countries" historically referred to countries that were not aligned with NATO or the Communist bloc during the Cold War. However, this terminology is now considered outdated and often seen as pejorative. Today, countries are more commonly referred to as developing, low-income, or emerging economies.
