You have to remember what the world was like politically at the time. Henry was an Englishman, and head of the Metropolitain Police in London. When he developed his system (with the help of Haque and Bose, of course), it was introduced to Scotland Yard, who in turn introduced it to a variety of U.S. police officials at the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904. Once trained, it just stuck. Vucetich simply did not have as much access and therefore influence to the outside world as Henry did. Vucetich's system is actually easier to use, and just as accurate if you include its subdivisions. Many Spanish-speaking countries still use it, especially in South America. And Interpol uses both systems. The reason Henry is used in England and the U.S. is simply a matter of cultural advertising back in the early 1900s. == == The Henry system was more accurate

The Henry system of classification is a system used to classify fingerprints based on patterns within the ridges. It categorizes prints into three main groups: loops, whorls, and arches. By analyzing the specific patterns of these categories, fingerprints can be further distinguished and matched for identification purposes.
"An Englishman, Sir Edward Henry, who had been given tuition in fingerprints by Galton, devised a workable classification system independently of Vucetich and implemented it in India in 1897. Henry published his book Classification and Uses of Fingerprints in 1900. In 1901, Henry was appointed Assistant Commissioner of Police at New Scotland Yard and began to introduce his fingerprint system into that institution. By the end of that year, the Fingerprint Office at New Scotland Yard was fully functional, the first British court conviction by fingerprints being obtained in 1902. Approximately 10 years after the publication of Henry's book, his classification system was being used by police forces and prison authorities throughout the English-speaking world."

Francis Galton's major contribution to forensic science was the development of the technique of fingerprint identification. He conducted research showing that fingerprints are unique to individuals and can be used as a reliable method for identifying people. This work laid the foundation for modern fingerprint analysis in forensic investigations.
In 1963, Mitchell Trauring of Hughes Research Lab, published the first paper “Automatic Comparison of Fingerprint Ridge Patterns,” on automated personal identification. In 1975, the FBI began funding the development of scanners and extracting technology. It took decades to develop methods of digital file compression that maintained image quality, classification, extraction of elements and matching (M40 algorithm). In 1994, the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) competition was held. Lockheed Martin was selected to build the IAFIS. The system was to address digital fingerprint acquisition, ridge characteristic extraction and ridge characteristic pattern matching. Aside from the development of software applications that read fingerprints or other permanent traits, the first use of cataloguing of fingerprints was by Juan Vucetich in 1891 in Argentina. Later, criminal identification based on physical elements (anthropometry) by Aphonse Bertillon, of France, improved the practice. Later, in the mid-1800s, Francis Galton created a fingerprint classification system. The Henry Classification system was used from the late 1800s to sort fingerprints by physiological characteristics. Named for Sir Edward Henry, it was developed in British India with Hem Chandra Bose and Azizul Haque.
