ARPANET was basically the original internet (or rather, what the americans claim was the first internet, others also claim to have invented it first, and I don't want to get into debates about it).

Anyway, it was developed by the US military to enable fast communication between different bases etc. Eventually it grew into what we now call the internet, with connections under the sea to other countries.
