Esperanto was created by L.L. Zamenhof, a Polish ophthalmologist, in the late 19th century. He wanted to create a universal language that could be easily learned and used by people from different cultures and backgrounds to foster understanding and peace. The language was first published in 1887 and has since grown into a global community of speakers.
