Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1960–2010. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 50 of the 51 years between 1960 and 2010 for Syria. The missing 1 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
