Do you know that the Brits played a leading role in the development of the current Joint Aviation Requirements(JAR)? It was mostly them who pushed the other member countries to take their rules with the right to change some parts to local requirements.
But I still don't understand, why we needed to get new licenses, since we still have the ICAO, which - in comparison the the JAA - is a worldwide organization. Why not change the rules and requirements worldwide to the same, so all licenses are valid without a 'validation'? Why does every continent need its own licenses? I guess the reason lies within the possibility of making even more money with conversions...
