This Visualisation shows global arms transfers from 1950-2017. It was heavily inspired by this Video by Will Geary's (@wgeary) - https://vimeo.com/286751571 Since I wanted to see how other countries that are known to be large arms-exporters would look in such an animation, I decided to create an interactive version in which you can select any countries you want to be displayed. The dataset was retrieved from SIPRI - the Stockholm International Peace Research Institue. - https://www.sipri.org/databases/armstransfers The SVG world map was retrieved from AMCharts at https://www.amcharts.com/svg-maps/?map=world If you have a suggestion or found a bug feel free to open an issue on the GitHub Repo. * Other plugins used:
