Why isn’t the numbers system the same in US and Europe?

454 views

Europe (mentioned on the left side) = US (mentioned on the right side)

Million = Million

But then Europe has “milliard”, which the US doesn’t. So it continues:

Milliard = Billion

Billion = Trillion

Why and how did this difference occur?

Isn’t that the French way of saying it, not the European way? Milliard essentially means one thousand millions, which is equal to a billion.
