Answer:

Although many people use the terms ‘first world’ and ‘third world’, like with a lot of language we use, the history of these terms, how they originated, and what they really mean is often unknown. Although somewhat logical, it is often a surprise to people that there was also the term ‘second world’, largely because it is a term that has become obsolete.Believe it or not, the concepts of First World, Second World and Third World actually originated during the Cold War. World War II was followed by a period of geopolitical tension between two ‘superpowers’ that opposed each other ideologically, politically, militarily, and economically.
