1973, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated a research program. This was called the Internetting project and the system of networks which emerged from the research was known as the "Internet." TCP/IP protocols were developed from this research.
In 1986, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) initiated the development of the NSFNET which, today, provides a major backbone communication service for the Internet.
Senator Al Gore introduced legislation during the late 1980s known informally as the Gore Bill. It was passed, however, as the High Performance Computing Act of 1991 on Dec. 9, 1991 and led to the NII or National Information Infrastructure. Without this, the internet would still be confined to universities, military and government use only.
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee of CERN (Centre European pour la Recherche Nucleaire -or- European Laboratory for Particle Physics), submitted a proposal for protocols that became the basis for the World Wide Web.
In 1993, Marc Andreessen and NCSA and the University of Illinois develops a graphical user interface to the WWW, called "Mosaic for X". i.e., the first web browser.

Which idiot said Al Gore?
ARPA created it as a way of linking all the defence computers together in such a way that if some were damaged (by a war), the network would still work
Then the Universities took it up

The Internet started as ARPAnet, a project of the US Department of Defense.
