Global Military Expenditure

Global military expenditure refers to the total amount countries spend annually on their armed forces and defense-related activities. This includes costs for personnel, equipment, technology, research, and infrastructure. It reflects how much nations prioritize military strength and security, and can influence international relations, security dynamics, and economic policies. Variations in spending often depend on perceived threats, geopolitical interests, and economic capacity. Understanding these figures helps gauge global stability and defense priorities without implying any judgment of the countries involved.
