Jump to PostAFAIK, it comes from the Cold War times. Then there were superpowers (USA and USSR), developed countries, and the third world.
Jump to PostUS and NATO countries were the first world, communism/Soviet Union was the second world, and the non-aligned countries were the third world. The first and second worlds would fight over the third worlds.
Jump to PostI would bet that your local library would have it in electronic form.
