Theravada is generally the tradition of southeast Asia, while Mahayana is the tradition of Northern India and Tibet. Mahayana continued to spread up through China, mixing with Taoism and Confucianism along the way, eventually culminating in the Zen tradition in Japan. Those who practice Theravada claim that theirs is the purist tradition, which holds to the original teachings of Siddhartha himself. Mayahana was more of an evolving philosophy which mixed with other religions and philosophies as moved through places and their indigenous cultures.
