I think it was the military who made it,They used it to transfer plan's and info between themselve's.

Originally, the Internet was called the ARPANet and came out of the Dept. of Defense Advanced Research Project Agency. You can find a PDF discussion By Dr. Peter J. Denning at this link if you want to know more.

Right, Tim Berners-Lee developed the foundation of HTML, the http protocol, and URLs. He didn't invent the browser though. (It's in the paper I cited, btw.)

Is he American? Because my teacher was spouting some BS about how it was made by foreigners.
