The count of military personnel for the years 1900 to 2024. Military personnel are defined as troops under the command of the national government and are maintained in a state of readiness for combat. Troops in the reserves (unless mobilized for wartime service), colonial forces, irregular units such as civil defense groups, frontier guards, gendarmerie, and other quasi-military organizations are excluded from this assessment. I categorized (colored) countries into three main groups, each of which currently holds a significant presence in the list, especially during recent years: Muslim countries, Southeast Asian countries, and the remaining nations worldwide.

Hey everyone!
I'm into number crunching, data, and cool visuals. If you like my stuff, support my channel, it can buy me another cup of coffee and a cookie for my baby girl Eva.
