ANSWER

At the height of British power, it was literally true that the sun never set on their Empire - they had significant holdings in places all over the world and on every continent. Furthermore, they were a major mercantile nation, and English traders could be found almost anywhere. English was a highly useful language to learn for this reason.

As American power eclipsed that of Great Britain, people didn't have to learn a new language to deal with the new power - Americans spoke English, too. So English's position became more entrenched.

English is a language of international communication. It is used in many swears of life e.g. all the messages at the air ports are in English. English is used in tourism, trade (handel), technology. All the newest things within technology is printed in English. So it's very useful to speak English. It is spoken by a lot of people in the world. It's one of official languages in United Nation and European Union. It's easy to communicate English everywhere. It's not a very difficult language. All computers languages and programmes are closely connected with English. A lot of information in the internet is also written in English.
