English was never voted on as a global language. It became globalized with the expanding British empire, and then later, the expanding economy of the United States, along with the television and movie industry.

English was not "voted" as a global language; its status as a global language emerged due to historical and political factors. Mandarin Chinese and Spanish are often considered the second and third most spoken languages globally, respectively.

There was no vote, and there is no 2nd or 3rd global language. However, the 2nd most common international language is French.

What if US had voted to use the German language?

It's actually a myth that the United States once was close to voting German as its official language; the United States does not now, nor has it ever, had an official language. English is used as the de facto official language, but there is in fact no legally official language in the United States. Several states have official languages. Louisiana has English and French; New Mexico has English and Spanish; Hawai'i has English and Hawai'ian; etc. If, theoretically, German or any other language were voted as the official language, in all likelihood there would be little change to how things are done already because English is so widely spoken.
