But we're going to get to those connections soon enough. I want to bring up this other interesting story. There was actually an effort by Esperantists, including a delegate from Iran, to get the language to become the official language of the League of Nations. But take one guess as to which country blocked that effort.

Yeah, the French government seemingly hated Esperanto, at least according to an article on Imp of the Diverse blog site. They blocked its study in universities and public schools, and as the article quotes the opponents directly, quote, On September 10th, 1922, the New York Tribune ran a translation of a piece by the editor-in-chief of Le Matin, Stéphane Lausanne.

Mr. Lausanne spent half his editorial writing about Esperanto. And I'm not going to do a French accent for this section, but just imagine like the most French Frenchman reading this.

But that French people or English or Germans could have let themselves be allured by this linguistic Bolshevism, that is far more extraordinary. It is nevertheless a fact that Esperanto, which was born 25 years ago and ought to have died through ridicule, continues to have disciples in Europe.
