The main reason a large number of people speak English is the former widespread reach of the British Empire. India, Australia, China, Canada, and the United States were at one time largely or entirely under British control. Thus both native residents and British colonists used English in those areas.
Due to the success of these former colonies, English has been adapted as a second language in many countries, even if they have no former ties to the British Empire, for trade, diplomatic, and scientific reasons.
English has become a global language primarily due to the historical influence of the British Empire and the economic dominance of the United States. It is widely spoken in business, education, and international communication, making it a practical choice for many people to learn as a second language. Additionally, the widespread availability of English language media and the internet has also contributed to its prevalence.
