What are the reasons Mexico didn't become a Developed Nation? Here in Brazil, the common sense says many times that because my country never had a bloody revolution and a true national identity we can't become truly developed. Mexico has a great heritage, had strong and revolutionary leaders in the Revolution of 1910 and a strong artistic movement that helped create a national identity (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_muralism)
I don't think it's an exception, I think there's another reason, but I'm not an expert and I don't know if I'm right.. So, what differentiates Mexico from, for example, France and the US?
What do you mean by "First World"?
AFAIK, the first usage of 1^(st), 2^nd and 3^rd World was after WWII. The 1st world was the allied nations, the 2^nd world was the axis nations, and the 3^rd world was everyone else.
Nowadays, most people use "3^(rd)" World to mean undeveloped nations, collectively. So could you clarify your question?
EDIT: My memory is a bit fuzzy now, but I don't believe that text was there when I responded. I think it was a title-only post. I note that the text has been edited since the original post.
