Estonia was Soviet-occupied for 51 years before joining NATO in 2004.

Estonia spends ~3.4% of GDP on defense — near Cold War NATO norms!
During the Cold War, NATO averaged 4-6% of GDP on defense. After 1991, most dropped below 2%. Estonia, bordering Russia, never eased up — and today leads nearly all NATO allies in per-GDP defense commitment.
