No. The internet has so many beginnings that it is impossible to say only one group created it.

The internet, like its design, is a co-operation between many different groups.

It goes back even further than 1777, where the French mechanical telegraph was the first way to send long distance messages. And therefore is considered as one of the beginnings of the of the internet.

Or in 1830 where Brits invented a way to send electronic messages over copper cables.

Or in 1860 where they started laying sea cables to connect landmasses.

It is typical that the US claims to have invented something when it is clearly a collaborative effort.
