jan 1, 1899 - The end of 19th Century
Description:
By the end of the 19th Century, the USA had overtaken the UK as the fastest growing economy, and America's 'economic imperialism' continued the momentum of the British Industrial Revolution into the 20th Century. The American dominance in military and economic power, as well as its overwhelming influence in the media and popular culture has made sure that English has remained one of the most important languages in the world and the closest thing to a global language the world has ever seen.
