I suspect it's due in part to the occupation from WW2, also due to English being considered a "universal" trade lanquage for a good part of the last century. It's also partly due to "loan" words, many phrases in English have no counterpoint in other lanquages. Mostly due to the fact English is a hybridized language, where they incorperate new phrases and words constantly.

Consider my Home state of "Iowa," that's not English, it's Native American. Half the counties and towns in this state are named after native American words. English just utilizes what ever words are in an area and adds them to the overall vocabulary. There are several "Japanese", "German", "French", and "Spanish" words in English as well. English is essentially the "Borg" of Lanquage, it absorbs everything else and adds it to itself.
