Less affluent is the default state of things. It doesn't require a conspiracy or domineering other to create it.
You can argue the more affluent countries didn't help the less affluent ones enough. But there is literally billions in aid that goes from affluent to less affluent countries every year.
Unfortunately, aid is a short term fix for problems. The only real way to help them is to properly invest in them, which requires a stability that less affluent countries often lack.

I never said anything about a conspiracy. > You can argue the more affluent countries didn't help the less affluent ones enough. But there is literally billions in aid that goes from affluent to less affluent countries every year. I suspect the less affluent countries wouldn't object to less aid and investment from the U.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iran_coup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iran_coup https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB4/ https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB4/ https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/index.html https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/index.html
