Now, perhaps. But that's a recent development, really only over the past 50-100 years. English language hegemony predates that. Prior to the very recent development of American cultural export, English was propagated around the world by England and their colonization. In fact, it's more accurate to say that English colonization enabled the United States to export its culture in the first place. Views like yours are exemplars of Americentrism.
