All of these are different. France was the cultural center of the West for centuries, its language was spoken in the entire continent. It was a slow build up.
The English rose to power fast with their industrial revolution and BTFO the French in a complete cultural victory in the 19th century, their empire was massive, extremely rich, there were more Englishmen around the world than any other Euro. This is why the English language replaced French, and why everybody would start copying English culture and way of life.
In comparison, Germany isn't much more special than Italy or Spain. It's big and rich, sure, but they never had the reach or influence as the French or the English.

The Japanese heavily pushed their culture around the world in the 80s and Koreans copied them in the 2010s. This was a very deliberate strategy.

but then they published it and turned it from private into public and it all went downhill from there
>>
>>216185621
I don't remember it in great detail, but in the 19th century there were mostly two opposed movements, one that wanted to model the new private law codes on the basis of the current legal practice, and the other (the Pandectists, for example Savigny) that intended to use again Roman law to build a new systematic legal doctrine
In the end none of them won decisively, but their work laid the basis for most of the theoretical legal developments at the beginning of the 20th century that later translated to positive legislation

I'm not that into legal history, just what I remember from uni years ago

I think Korea has not made anything unique so far but simply works 20% harder at other people's ideas. However there are lots of Japanese mangaka that have unique ideas and works. Anime in Japan is supposed to just be a higher end production of a manga lots of people think are popular and are often judged by their ability to bring the original work to life. I think Lovecraft can be considered an American cultural giant, and he just made sci-fi pulp fiction comics and short stories.

My two most recent long term interactions with Germans in the US were

1: German getting into a screaming match with me because he hated American firetrucks

2: German getting angry and arguing with me at work because he was angry that we had the AC on in summer. Literally said "we don't do this in Germany"
