Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1984–2024. 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 36 of the 41 years between 1984 and 2024 for Zambia. The missing 5 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
