Investments in military defense increased greatly since 2014, as European Union member states sought to bolster their militaries following the reemergence of Russia as a geopolitical threat following that country's illegal annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, as well as the generally unstable global geopolitical climate. In particular, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the Netherlands boosted their spending compared to the early 2010s, when they had cut back on public spending due to the Great Recession and Eurozone crisis. In fact, Germany was the EU country that invested more on defense in 2023, reaching 12.75 billion euros.
