Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1964–2024. 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 57 of the 61 years between 1964 and 2024 for Zimbabwe. The missing 4 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
