Third world countries have high rates of poverty, low transparency and representation in government, poor access to social services, including health and education, and need other countries' money to try to make it better. Egypt, China and India have old civilizations, and would posisbly be in a better situation if some of those empires were still in charge. However, by 21st century standards, ethnic warfare, tribalism, and acceptance of slavery and indentured serftitutude are no longer thought acceptable.
What is the logic behind calling some coutries as third world country. Civilisation in Egypt, China, India etc is older than civilisation in US. How come they become third world country not first or second?
Most of those countries which carry this designation of being a "Third World Country", are sadly the ones exploited by past history's competing nations with greedy colonialism policies for exploiting the natural resources which were ripe for the taking. Sad also is the fact that most of those wealthy industrialized nations are continuing to exploit those former colonies for their own personal benefit and no one seems to call them on it.

I disagree.
It is some who react.
Ofc they do it horribly wrong.
And are hunted down for it.
Some parts of the world. They dont even got the right for justice. This ofc is coz of the horrible ways this grupes work.
In a very simple and correct definition a country is 1st world if it is Industrialized, Democratic, and developed. Any place with only one or two of these attributes is 2nd world and anything else would be considered 3rd world.
I have this bomb-proof first world text. It's all about cars. Bear with me.
1) If car makers make its latest, more technologically advanced models available in that country, then it's a first world country. If, on the other hand, they sell models that have long been discontinued in other countries or economy models tailor-made for emerging countries, then it's not.
2) If taxies have four doors and enough room to fit 3/4 passangers comfortably then it's first world. If , on the other hand, taxies are old Beetles, then it's not (sorry Mexico!)
A 3rd world country aka a developing country is one that is underdevelopment economically...
"Third World is a name given to nations that are generally considered to be underdeveloped economically. The name Third World arose during the Cold War to refer to nations that did not belong to the First or Second Worlds. While there is debate over the appropriateness of the term, and no alternative is without detractors, the term is one embraced by many Third World nations themselves, particularly in the Non-Aligned Movement."

You could say that's exactly how those civilsations became powerful before they declined.

That's actually quite wrong. These terms are from the Cold War days and that geo-political setup simply doesn't exist anymore.
