If we look a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we would be very
surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom. The language most
commonly used between people of different nationalities was French. However, that is not the case

more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.
There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication. Britain's
colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with it, but it is mainly due to America’s rise to
the position of major world power. This helped spread popular American culture throughout the world
bringing the language with it.
