It was a good idea for the time it was created, when Europeans were constantly killing eachother all over the place.
Finally, it was forming the EU that got them to stop. So creating a common language kinda felt unnecessary after that.

Do you know if anyone has tried a similar language project that takes the entire globe into account?

Thankyou vm for the references to go through. Cheers. Fascinating topic for me, who has never learned any language other than English.
