“Also Europe seems so much more friendly to having kids learn these languages in school or even study with the language as a general medium”
Not totally true. France has been quite hostile to non-french languages for quite some time and this has only increased in the 20th century. They are killing Occitan, Alsatian, Breton, Basque, Corsican, and every other non-french language.
Of course, when talking about language killers, we can’t forget about that garbage race known as the Turks.

Compared to the rest of the world, Europe does great in terms of minority languages. France is definitely a reactionary outlier though.
