The term "Third world' drew attention to the parts of the world that, during the Cold War, did not fall into the capitalist so-called 'First World' or the communist so-called 'Second world'.

The formerly colonized and newly independent countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America were 'third' in the sense that they were made economically and militarily dependent on the 'first' and 'second' world, and often suffered from wide spread poverty and famine as a result.

The term also implied that they were 'non-aligned', the third world often being the battleground on which the geopolitical struggle between the first and second world was conducted.

Moreover, the British world take action to ensure the fulfillment of all guarantees by China, as per the Adhesion Agreement of 1906. Alarmed by the aggressive forward policy unleashed by the Manchu Empire in the wake of the Young Husband expedition of 1903 04, which was followed up in a more robust manner by the regime of new republic during 1910-11, British India reacted vigorously, first by ejecting the policy of non-interference, and second by endeavoring to define the frontier with Tibet by reaching out to the less explored or unknown tribal territories on the southern slopes of Himalayas.
