How did Australia become a developed country?
The U.K. is classed as a developed country because the standard of living is good, we have a free society and we are technologically aware. Compared to a third world country or undeveloped country where the standard of living is low, food and water are scarce and where some laws could easily violate our basic human rights.
You can infer that we have the better system and that most of this is because of commerce and the wealth we possess. The Romans were the first people to conquer us and with them they brought a real sense of cohesion in society and diplomacy that allowed us to resolve conflicts without violence.
Unfortunately today things aren't as civilised as they were a decade or two ago. There are more freedoms but those freedoms give rights to those who wish to abuse our system and deprive others of their rights.
