Explain the reasons for the aggravation of the problem of uneven development of the countries of the world. Why has only a small group of countries become the leader in development?

This can be explained by the fact that at the end of the 19th century, all power was in the hands of a group of advanced states: England, France, Italy, Japan, USA, Germany, which concentrated in their hands, not only great power, but also resources. Most of the resources and funds were spent on the development of mother states. That is, for example, Britain parasitized at the expense of its colonies, which developed slowly, and the mother state very quickly. Ultimately, when the detachment took place, these colonies turned out to be underdeveloped countries.
