China

South east asia

Especially Vietnam

Any country thats developing is second world

Wrong

Any country that is industrializing is 2nd world

So developing

Not quite

England was quite developed

Before the industrial revolution

Id argue they had to regress a little for mechanical improvement and urbanization

Riveting topic

Then wouldn't they have been a first world country given that industry wasn't prominent yet

They werent savages either

Living on a farm was actually cleaner than working in a factory or mine all day

They also had strong social constructs and ethics

And I dont have to worry about cramping in with 5 other tenets in a 200 sqft room

Albeit it was a necessary evil

So pre-industrial england was 1st world?

Kind of

I mean the poor were poor

But the general populous lived on open farmland

The rich lived in cities

Sounds like 1st world to me

i dont think either of you exactly know what 1st world means

like

you have a rough idea

but

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?

Pre industrial england wasnt exactly 3rd world either

of course i could be wrong and be talking out of my ass but eh

doesnt sound exactly right

Quality of life went downward for many in industrialization

I've always thought it would be represented by standard of living and GDP per capita

People were living in disease infested aparments that were 200 sqft

Also

Shitting in the streets was acceptable during the industrial revolution because sewers were not standardized

A poor tenant couldn't afford a toliet

hi..?

Even though the romans invented public toilets with a sewage system
