What pivotal phenomena lead English to become the dominant language of the world?

Asked by auhsojsa (2516points) February 4th, 2012

I’m merely talking within the globalized and industrial world. As I understand it, the great explorers were the Portuguese, Spanish and later English due to military advancement. Was there a point in history when it might have well been Spanish or Portuguese we might be speaking today?
