How DARPA originally created what became the Internet

In the 1950s the Hydrogen bomb which could devastate whole countries was invented:

The First Hydrogen Bomb. The first US airdrop of a thermonuclear bomb happened on May 20th, 1956. The first hydrogen bomb dropped from the air exploded with a force estimated as equal to a minimum of fifteen million tons of TNT and created a fireball at least four miles wide and brighter than 500 suns.

In response to this Darpa invented mainfraime computer redundency to keep our government operating even if 20 to 30 U.S. cities were gone along with all their people from nukes.

So, these mainframes were sent all the information to keep the government running no matter what happened to many cities or military bases herei in the U.S. Submarines were loaded with nuclear missiles also as a deterrent and kept circling the globe ready to fire those missiles at Russia or China or both during these times.

But, over time when we all didn't die in the Cuban Missile Crisis eventually all this became the basis of the internet first through colleges using these mainframes with dumb terminals to send messages regarding their research between colleges to share important research information first here in the U.S. and then around the world to other universities doing similar research. This then, eventually became the basis of what eventually became the Internet worldwide. These early Emails between research facilities gave people the idea of the Internet initially. By the 1990s HTML had been created along with TCP/IP to make it possible. 

Then Yahoo and America Online were two of the first companies to actually use the Internet and allow people to use these sites and we were on our way here in the U.S.

HTML was invented in:
1990,
First developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language. HTML is used to create electronic documents (called pages) that are displayed on the World Wide Web.Nov 13, 2018
FeeJanuary 1, 1983
ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on January 1, 1983, and from there researchers began to assemble the “network of networks” that became the modern Internet. The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990, when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web.Dec 18, 2013
