The term "First World" originated during the Cold War to describe countries aligned with NATO and capitalism, primarily the United States and its allies. The U.S. emerged as a major world power after World War II, particularly due to its economic strength and political influence. By the late 1940s and into the 1950s, the U.S. was firmly established as a First World country, characterized by a high standard of living, advanced industrialization, and significant global influence.
