Doesn't that have something to do with the British Empire?
- mechanical_fish 17y agoYep. Guns. Lots and lots of guns. Big ones.
- gaius 17y agoYou say that as if there were no French or Spanish Empires.
- wheels 17y agoNo, actually. Well, not directly anyhow. English became the lingua franca post-WW2, mainly because of the powerful position of the English speaking countries militarily and economically after the war.
