Explanation:

English is a world language :

English is a language which is spoken worldwide . We all understand English .

English is a world language now, the dominant language of science, computing and academia in general. But looking back 100 years, to the start of the first world war, it wasn't so clear that English would be so dominant.

There is no question that English has emerged as a world language because of the British Empire.  When countries in the East and Africa were conquered, the governship became English and, thus, the official language.  So, anyone who wished to advance in the English colonies certainly needed to learn English.  And, because England was such a world power, its language extended across continents.  With the emergence of America's power and economic opportunities, the continuation of English as a world language was confirmed.  Added to this, was the "Ugly American" businessman, tourist, etc. who knew no other language, so the people who wished to do business with them found a knowledge of English beneficial.

It is worthy of note, however, that English is not the international language of such organizations as the United Nations.  Rather, French is employed because French is a more precise language.  With English words having so many different meanings and nuances, many official documents, treaties between countries, are translated into French since individual words have more exact meanings in this language and such meanings cannot as easily be misinterpreted as in English.
