It's not just different countries; accents differ from region to region: Someone from Louisiana is not likely to sound much like someone from Maine.
There are a couple of reasons for this. First, there's the fact that people tend to sound like the people they're around. If you grew up hearing a word pronounced a certain way, you're likely to pronounce it that way yourself. Some people are more adaptable than others and tend to adopt a new regional accent after living there for a while, others remain pretty firmly with the accent of where they grew up.
In the specific case of other countries, it's partly due to the same factor, and in some cases it's additionally because their native language may not have the same sounds as English. For example, the Japanese language doesn't really have a sound like English L or R ... they have a sound that's somewhere between the two, and when they encounter an L or R sound in English, they tend to say them the same way. English speakers trying to mimic the Japanese sound that's usually transcribed as an R have the same problem in reverse.
