Introduction
This is an analysis about the expenditure of 19 countries in G20 (excluding Europe Union) on three categories: military, healthcare and education during 2011-2016. With the use of visual studio code, this project provides visualizations for the spending data to help identify the patterns and trending in the expenditure of different countries. The results are expected to help governments and their citizens to be aware of the policies and priorities of their countries over the time.
About the Data
The dataset is retrieved from Data World Bank. In this project, only the domestic general government expenditures are taken into consideration. The data is preprocessed using Python and is visualized using Visual Studio Code. Due to the availability of data, there are some missing values in education expenditure so the analysis of education is not meaningful. To address this issue, missing data needed to be collected or another set of countries should be used for this project.

Before the analysis, let's have a glance at the total expenditure of 19 countries during the period 2011-2016. Overall, the following charts indicate that United States is the biggest spender in all three categories: military, healthcare and education.
