Originally, they wanted a mainframe in each large city and one at every military base in the U.S. This was to create a redundancy of information repeated at every military base and in every large city in the U.S. especially state capitols and at Washington DC.
The idea was to have enough information at each and every redundant mainframe computer carrying all this information to rebuild cities and military bases from the ground up, restore power, water and all utilities to areas and to defend those areas from attacks from all comers ongoing. So, this information became the beginning of the servers now all over the world which create a similar redundancy carrying all websites on earth so they can be accessed literally anywhere on earth that countries make it legal to do so.
How this started to evolve is military and university researchers created something similar to emails of today to share research worldwide. As this became more popular between universities worldwide in sharing research it evolved from there and eventually became the World Wide Web we have now that goes literally worldwide in every country that allows it to exist in.
