  1. Why were the Europeans able to conquer Asia 

and Africa in the 1800s?

  1. How does the author explain the difference 

between Developed countries and Third World 

countries? *


*The expression "Third World" is generally considered 

outdated and inappropriate today. Originally coined during 

the Cold War to categorize countries that were neither 

aligned with NATO (the "First World") nor the Soviet 

bloc (the "Second World"), the term came to be 

associated with underdevelopment, poverty, 

and low-income nations. This led to negative 

connotations and a hierarchical view of countries.

In contemporary discourse, terms like "developing 

countries," "Global South," "low- and middle-income 

countries" (LMIC), or specific regional classifications 

are preferred, as they avoid the pejorative implications 

and acknowledge the complexities of economic and 

social development across nations.
