Sorry I feel I have to follow up on this one because first answer was horribly.
I think the main reason is innovation.
The last hundreds of years significant innovation has come from north western Europe. Basically from the France/Northern Italy and upwards. Perhaps with epicenter in the Nederlands.
The US has contributed significant innovation as well, same for Japan.
With innovation comes business. And with business comes partnerships.
So there you have the outline of the west + Japan.
