During the 1600's there were many competing notations for decimals, of
which the comma and period were the two winners. Here's what Cajori,
in A History of Mathematical Notations, says about one point in the
conflict (p. 328):

"In the eighteenth century, trials of strength between the comma
and the dot as the separatrix were complicated by the fact that
Leibniz had proposed the dot as the symbol of multiplication ....
As a symbol for multiplication the dot was seldom used in England
during the eighteenth century, Oughtred's X being generally
preferred. For this reason, the dot as a separatrix enjoyed an
advantage in England during the eighteenth century which it did
not enjoy on the continent."

In the end, the comma won on the continent of Europe; the dot was used
in England, though commonly raised rather than on the line (with the
low dot used for multiplication). In America the usage varied at
first, but has settled down to the low dot for the decimal separator,
and a raised dot for multiplication.
