The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, more commonly known as NATO, is an intricate network designed to ensure the security and freedom of its members through a solid, cooperative commitment to defense and conflict resolution. With its foundation deeply rooted in post-World World II soil, this international military alliance plays a crucial role in preserving global stability. Every member, all 30 of them, individually contributing to the shared defense budget reflects the essence of this cooperation. One of the landmark resolutions of the 2014 summit was an agreement by all NATO members to dedicate at least 2% of their respective GDPs toward defense by the year 2025. However, achieving this ambitious goal has been a gradual process with varying degrees of success across different nations. Key findings from the data include:
