Why are Japan and Poland the only examples of third world shitholes that successfully transitioned in to first world powers?

why do you shit in the streets?

>Poland
>First world

HAHAHAHAHA. No.

Stop being jealous Ivan. You're hurting yourself.

Great Culture, Great History.

The real question is why they had a short period of despair.

Technically every 1st world country was less than a 3rd world shithole at some point.

Also great people.

Retards cant into what first second and third world actually mean

First world = Allied with allies/Capitalism after WW2
Second World = Allied with USSR/Communism
Third World = Did not align with either

Designated

Honestly Polacks are white niggers.

Japan: Ah.
Unified by the early 17th century, they managed to keep a tight leash on foreign contact and never ended up being colonized.
The long peace under Tokugawa shogunate allowed them to develop a rudimentary market economy (industrious revolution, if not industrial) that eventually lead to power shifting away from the landed gentry to industrialists and merchants, toppling the old feudalism and reforming it into an oligarchic capitalism modeled on the west.
This old capitalism then collapsed in the run up to WW2, leading to increased state control through ministries. Post WW2, old vertical monopolies were crushed by decree, and instead, horizontal groupings were formed. The economy was liberalized a bit, but real power still resides in the bureaucracy. However, they knew what to do. Low value of yen and free access to western markets allowed massive arbitrage and growth. This undervaluation was finally ended in the 80's, at US demand (plaza accord), and the yen was allowed to appreciate against the dollar, ending the export boom. The credit boom ended soon as well.
The party is over, 90's and 00's were the hangover. Insanely high public debt remains, though. At least their debt is nominated in yen and mostly held by institutional investors, who can be politically controlled.

>Provide cheap labor
>never get rid of them

Quaddafi had a hard life.

Seriously, what did obama have against secular government in the middle east?

You'd think he'd want even more islamist shitholes.

Really weird from him.

>Poland
>first world power

Oh Pajeet, not so early please

South Korea too

...

Poland isn't first world dipshit.

Poland, first world power?
hooooo

Just hold on there, chap.

I think you went too far with this kind of bollocks. Some more literate migrants browsing this site may read this and get funny ideas about visiting us. We don't want it.

Don't say it out loud, Poland isn't first world country, it isn't even third world, it still a bog-tier shithole. Alright?

And I don't mind that at all. At least we have less sand niggers than others who are so "open" and "civilized".

japan was never a third world shithole, after the end of its medieval feudalist civil war period it always had a strong government, ordered society and well maintained infrastructure. It was just technologically backwards due to isolation.
