Answer: One of the reasons is the extraction of raw materials from third world countries by first world countries.

Explanation: Countries in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East are often exploited for their resources (oil, gold, cocoa) by colonial powers such as the USA and England, and also by large corporations located in these colonial powers.
