Answer:

The first, and most obvious reason that English became widespread in the first place is because of the British Empire. ... So English then became an elitist language of sorts, spoken by those who were educated in literature, philosophy and poetry, much like French was back when it was the most widely spoken language.

Most people consider English to be a global language because it is the one language that is spoken and understood by the majority of the population in almost every region of the world. ... It is perhaps this worldwide acceptance and usage of the English language that propels it as an extremely essential global language.
