People in underdeveloped countries wipe themselves with their left hand. Thus the left hand is considered unclean.
That's correct, and another factor comes from the northern countries (Sweden, Norway, and also some other parts of Europe) where the handshake was a symbolic mean of peace. You usually carried your weapon in your right hand, and that's why shaking with this hand meant that no harm would be done to eachother. Not taking one's stretched out hand was an insult and could lead to a conflict.
