Hungary is ranked no 51 in GDP per capita below some African countries, Poland (poor by European standards), and on par with Malaysia. No, it's not first world.
Considering the Britain has been one of the world's wealthiest countries since... well, 1707 I think you can consider it a developed country since the definition was coined.

Ok, then.
Denmark has a GDP per capita of $2450 in 1965, while Australia had 2500. So in what sense was Australia first world before Denmark?
Singapore's GDP per capita was 2900 in 1975, while in Spain it was 3500. But Singapore became first world first?

They were close, but Australia wasn't so impacted by the war, so there was no post-war rebuilding like in Europe. We were like the third country in the world to get shopping malls, and the 50s lifestyle/era of prosperity occurred in Australia. No mini-depression like in Britain etc.

The war in Denmark took 12 hours I think. There wasn't much of a devastation.
50's lifestyle and shopping malls... quite on thin ice here.
Santiago looks like any first world city, and I hear quality of life in Chile is the best in Latin America.
I've heard Hungary is poor by European standards.
From what I've heard from an actual Chilean,he said that the differences between Chile and the rest of the Latin American countries are not that big.The corruption is awful and while he lives in an accommodated sector,the casas chubi is just 10 minutes away from his house(the Chilean equivalent to Brazil's favelas).
He also mentioned that if there're any protests,a lot of people would die in the hands of the cops.
None of those sound first world to me.I'm pretty sure that Hungary or Poland aren't like that.

Actually I heard that the King of Denmark was very wise so Denmark was pretty much completely safe from any damage during WWII,though under Nazi's occupation.
And most the jews were sent to Sweden successfully,that just sounds all kinds of heroic and cool.
^ Well Scandinavia mostly escaped the war, yes. But most of Europe did not.
