"Over the internet also invented by Brits. "

Kahn and Cerf were American. DARPA was an American project. Much of the underlying technology was developed at Xerox's (an American company) Palo Alto Research Center.

Cerf’s protocol transformed the internet into a worldwide network. Throughout the 1980s, researchers and scientists used it to send files and data from one computer to another. However, in 1991 the internet changed again. That year, a computer programmer in Switzerland named Tim Berners-Lee introduced the World Wide Web: an internet that was not simply a way to send files from one place to another but was itself a “web” of information that anyone on the Internet could retrieve. Berners-Lee created the Internet that we know today.

Everyone knows Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet. Even the LA Times agrees.

It was obviously a collaboration but the Brit was most important of course ;)

Cerf and Kahn invented some of the protocols at DARPA that the Web is built on, but the World Wide Web as we know it (WWW prefixes and HTML) was invented by Berners Lee.

Transformative versus innovative. That’s like a guy designing a car and taking credit for the creation of the road.
