The “free world” referred to western democratic countries post WW2.

That position has been diminishing over the last 25 years (or more, depending on what you blame it on).

I’ve always wondered about that title. Even in the past it didn’t work, if the Americas are supposed to be the free world what about Canada?

Nobody comes to save him and the world rejoices
