No.

It depends on the intention of the government/prime minister or big political leaders. For example, Malaysia was a poor country a few decades ago. The prime minister Mahathir Muhammad had great intentions of his country and was able to transform itself into a much more robust country. Had he not had the good intentions, Malaysia wouldn't be what it is today.

France had its fair share of bad leaders like Napolean
Same with Germany, Italy (with the current Pm the most corrupt leader in history of mankind), Russia

and yet they are developed

Corruption in France, Germany, Russia and Italy is NOTHING compared what happens here in Bangladesh and similar countries like India. I don't want to get into any detail because you wouldn't wanna hear, but yet, corruption in France and Italy is NOTHING.

But the leaders in Germany have twice dragged their country in two disastrous world wars.
Napoleon single handedly turned whole europe against France (correct me if i am wrong) and in the French-German Wars ,People in Paris had to eat on rats to escape starvation
yet now

Their leaders definitely had great intentions about their country. This is the main factor.

Yes I think it does effect some people are more hardworking than others like if other people had been born in saudi and had the wealth that they have here they could accomplish a lot of more things but sometimes wealth makes people lazy
