European Military Spending Shifts: Mapping Changes from Pre-War 2021 to Post-Invasion 2023
Aug 28, 2024
In light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, I’ve created a revealing map of Europe showcasing the changes in military expenditure between 2021 (the year before the war began) and 2023 (the year following the invasion). This visual representation offers a unique perspective on how European nations have responded to the dramatic shift in the continent’s security landscape.
The map of Europe below illustrates the percentage change in European Military Expenditure from 2021 to 2023. Drawing from data provided by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, it paints a vivid picture of the continent’s evolving defense priorities.
