not really, north, central and south america as well as most of africa were controlled by the spanish, french and portugese... a quarter of the world? not in population, control perhaps, but not at the same time... why is english the global language? because america invents the technology and the entertainment for most of the world... winning the world wars helped as well... but english is not the only language spoken in the world...<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
lmao, you honestly think that English is the international language because of the US? I think you need to do your research. But I must say, I exagerated a bit, at the height of its power it controlled 20% of the world and 23% of the world's population (1909). |
