Hey so how come americans and british were the ones who dominated the adventure genre?
It even dried up (in literature at least) when they came up with fantasy and sci-fi, which is also dominated by them. Was it the expansion of the birtish empire that encouraged their desire for a sense of wonder and exploration?
French, italians and even chinese had their own works on similar veins as well, but at some point they just moved on to other genres.

If that was the case then romance would've been their most prominent genre.
