English was first spoken in England, today 350 million people talk English as their first language. Today people talk English in The United States, India, Nigeria, United Kingdom, Phillipines, Canada and Australia for example. How did this happen? What happened in Australia? How and where is English used today?
There are several reasons for this, the main reason is that the pirates started to sail around the world and doing business with other countries. Then they spread the language, because people who wanted to do business with the Englishmen who travelled around the world had to talk English to understand each other. They were sailing around and dealing silver, gold, tobacco and different stuff. In Australia, the Englishman came and dealed with the Aussies, some of the things they very dealing was tobacco, cotton, silver and gold.
English is used in many countries like a said.

I am sorry but English is not destined to dominate the World as the international language. That, indeed would be unethical.
Personally I would suggest a non-national, neutral language.
