The Web was born in that well known American institution, CERN, invented by that well known American citizen, Tim Berners-Lee.
Internet itself (the network) is based on arpanet which was developed by ARRPA now known as DARPA which part of the US Department of Defense.
Doing some of the work developing the modern Internet isn't the same as doing all the work developing the modern internet.
Don't know what you are referring to as Internet but I was referring to the low level infrastructure and the technologies at that level. Also Internet != www.
isn't just the OSI stack all the way to IP.
CERN is Swiss though and Tim Berners-Lee is English.
Yeah, that was kinda the point I was making.
PS: And CERN is actually an international project, rather than just Swiss, though located in Switzerland.
Thought I was sensing sarcasm in your message.
Quite true.
