Is it English the dominant world language today because of the economic power of the US?

No, it is due to a range of factors, not least the British empire in the 19th century - which was the largest empire the world has ever seen. The British dominated global trade and were the foremost world power with colonies on over 25% of the world surface and on every continent. The language used to communicate in these colonies was English because it was the langauge of the dominant power. In the 20th Century when the US became the dominant world power, the use of English which was already widespread due to the British empire continued to be used. The importance of English is as a language of commerce and of intercommunication. For example the Scandinavian countries of Sweden Finland and Norway tend to speak to each other in English even though it is not the native language of any of those countries. The strength of the US has contributed to the use of English as a world language, but there were a number of other factors.
