HTML is not a protocol, it is a language. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. The protocol that webpages go through is HTTP, which stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. HTTP can be seen on the front of every webpage (e.g. http://wiki.answers.com)/.
I had never thought of HTML as a protocol but according to the CCENT/CCND ICND1 book by ciscopress.com, an official book of Cisco, HTML is a protocol. By definition, a protocol is simply a set of rules that determine the format and transmission of data. HTML does define a format for how data is diplayed even though it is transmitted via HTTP.
HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language". It is a descendant of other markup languages like GML (generalized markup language) and SGML (simplified generalized markup language).
HTML is the World Wide Web standard for transmitting web pages. It's not so much a "type" of web page as the language required to send a web page.
HTML, the HyperText Markup Language, defines web pages' content; CSS, Cascading Style Sheets, defines the web pages' presentation; and JavaScript, defines interactivity with the user, creating "Rich Internet Applications" (RIA).

The need of HTML is to create fancy webpages. With HTML, novice users can create webpages as well.
HTML is synchronous because the base protocol, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) does not maintain a connection with the server. This was because, at the time, no one could imagine wanting a protocol that kept state. Give that the protocol doesn't track the user, there'd be no way for HTML to by asynchronous.
World Wide Web (WWW), computer-based network of information resources that combines text and multimedia. The information on the World Wide Web can be accessed and searched through the Internet, a global computer network. The World Wide Web is often referred to simply as "the Web."the client/server protocol that defines how messages are formatted and transmitted on the World Wide Web. (HyperText Transfer Protocol)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and gopher protocols were used for web pages before html
