Why do some countries have their date formats different from other countries

eg) USA ---------------------------- 11/9/04 (Halo 2 Release Date)
New Zealand/Australia -------- 9/11/04 (Halo 2 Release Date)

The Second listed (NZ, Aus) Format makes more sense because you would say " The 9th(day) of the 11th(month) '04

I know that this is the most Randomest thing you have probably heard in your insignificant lives, but Post away!!!!!

9th of November

It's just inherited culture.

I'm pretty sure the US is one of the few places that doesn't use the day/month/year format.
