The Internet grew from a system built by the US Department of Defence.
The World Wide Web (which runs on top of the Internet) was created by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN.

The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.
the government made the internet to send messages
The USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA) in February 1958 to regain a technological lead. ARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution. So it was basically made for sending secret messages but later became made for everyone. Basically the government and military service.

David is right; Internet evolved from a US government utility call DARPA and big names like Tim Berners-Lee and Marc Andressen as implementers of modern Internet.
