7. United Kingdom

- Military expenditure (2017): $47.2 billion
- Military expenditure as a % of general government expenditure (2017): 4.7% (#74 among countries)
- Military expenditure per capita (2017): $715 (#14 among countries)
The UK's defense spending has fallen in recent years, and its army is the smallest it has been since the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800s.
