TCP/IP History. The predecessor of today's Internet was ARPAnet, created by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) and launched in 1969 during "Cold War". The extreme distrust that existed between USA and USSR (Soviet Union) was almost on the verge of a nuclear war during that time.

SGML descended from IBM's Generalized Markup Language (GML), which Charles Goldfarb, Edward Mosher, and Raymond Lorie developed in the 1960s. Goldfarb, editor of the international standard, coined the “GML” term using their surname initials. ... The syntax of SGML is closer to the COCOA format.
