The Esperanto language was developed by Dr. Ludwig Lazer Zamenhof, a Jewish ophthalmologist from Bialystok, in the 1870s. Zamenhof set out to make it the second language of every person in the world, alongside his mother tongue. He formulated most of the grammar rules of the language and its initial vocabulary construction.The idea gained a growing community of supporters, first mainly from the Russian Empire and then also from Central Europe and later the idea of ​​language also spread to other places - Western Europe, America, China and Japan. In 1905 the first Esperanto Congress convened in Bologna Sur-Mer in France This Congress adopted the Bolognese Declaration, which established the principles of the Fundamento de Esperanto as the permanent binding basis of the language and limited the changes in its basic rules.The 1920s are considered the heyday of the language, which attracted many interested for ideological reasons. The Nazis saw Esperanto as a project that contradicted their nationalist worldview, so they boycotted the language and gradually closed all Esperanto associations in Germany and eventually banned any linguistic or social activity in the field, in Germany and any other territory that fell under their occupation. In "Mein Kampf", Hitler described the international language as a "Jewish conspiracy to take over the world". Today Esperanto is the most widely spoken language among the planned languages, with about 2 million speakers.
