Esperanto is the most well known International Auxiliary Language, often known by many who do not knows that others IAL exists, but the real reason behind it is not accepted by any élite and being not understood by the masses never took off.
The main point is: to be peaceful and diverse we need a common easy language to communicate, one that put everyone on par, so an artificial language. Unfortunately to craft a society all élite need a common language of course limited to their "society", so the current world superpower de-facto impose it's language. In the past was French, not English, tomorrow who knows.
Until people realize that to really progress we need to be diverse and communicative and so we need a common language just for international relations no one will push toward that and nothing really change.
To figure out how much a language means just try the ability to read the press from many different countries and how doing so form a less directed vision of the world making easy to spot propaganda from reality.
