Esperanto, the Aggressor Language • • From the 1950s through the 1970s, Esperanto was used by the US Army for war games, as the language of the Maneuver Enemy , also known as the Aggressor . The goal was an added touch of realism, with the enemy speaking a foreign language. Spanish was the original candidate for Aggressor's national language, but it was soon superseded by Esperanto. • • Learn more at http://bit.ly/taCbf9 • • The Universal Language is a new documentary from Academy Award-nominated director Sam Green (The Weather Underground). This 30-minute film traces the history of Esperanto, an artificial language that was created in the late 1800s by a Polish eye doctor who believed that if everyone in the world spoke a common tongue, humanity could overcome racism and war. Fittingly, the word Esperanto means one who hopes.
