by experience, French people are arch to be forced to be assimilated, like anybody else...
the point is that an universal language would not be forced to be english... btw, english is based on many languages, as english was built from conquers and parts of the words in english are no longer from the original source of english, but taken from all the other languages... we can count more than 500 usual words in english that are french... same for any other language btw...
the only problem we have with a single universal language is not the difference of speakings on the europe and americas... but the Asian part... half of the planet talk chinese, and they don't even try to learn english or change their language so it is easier to understand... we face a two languages-universal situation... like ISO and UTF.. lol
