I got this picture from fluentland.com, I found it on a google search of English speaking countries, as I knew what I wanted to post about before I started searching. This map represents all the countries that use English as their main language. This is mostly a testament to the second wave of globalization that happened between 1600 - 1900 when Britain was colonizing many of its territories like the Americas Australia and India. This is not just representative of the globalization of a Language, but also of the English culture. Countries that were occupied by England during its age of colonization have to this day English-esque institutions. My inspiration for this topic comes from Winston Churchill, who is a great inspiration to me and all of western society. He wrote the book History of the English Speaking Peoples which goes into detail on this subject if anyone wants to really learn more about this.
