“... the bulk of Europe used French as the common language.” That is where the term “Lingua Franca” came from. Before that in Europe, which was the center of the universe, learned people used Latin. Just ask Newton or any cleric.
English took over when the world got smaller. The US was the "bomb" in 1945, (can’t wait to see how that comes back) and ten years later consumed nearly a third of the planets energy. That plus Rock and Roll made English the only language that made sense. Still does.
