No need for the army .. How can she believe in itself?

In a world in which countries are racing to armament and enhance their military capabilities, unique models have chosen to take a completely different path, declaring: “There is no need for the army!”

These countries live without permanent armed forces, based on peace policies, defense alliances, or even symbolic protection strategies.

Among the most prominent of these countries:

Costa Rica
She canceled her army in 1949 after a civil war, and she devoted the defense budget to develop health and education, to become one of the most stable countries in Latin America.

Vatican
The smallest country in the world does not have an army, and the role of protection is limited to the Swiss Guard, which is a symbolic force guarding the Pope and is not considered a national army.

Monaco
It depends on France in defense affairs, according to a treaty concluded in 1918, and lives in light of political and economic stability.

Iceland
She does not have a regular army, but she is a member of NATO, and relies on military support from the United States in the event of an emergency.

Marshall Islands and Palau
Small countries in the Pacific, depend on joint defense agreements with the United States to provide security and defense protection.
