The concept was originally proposed by the Japanese Ministry of Transportation in the 1930's. For a number of reasons the project was put on hold until after WWII.
Trains with speeds of up to 100 mph (160 km/h) ran in Europe since 1933, but the definition of a "bullet train" is speed of 200 km/h. The first such line was the Tokaido Shinkansen that was designed in 1958 and entered service in 1964.

Why is a bullet train called a bullet train?
'Bullet Train' is not the proper name for these trains.It is a named invented by the English language media for the Japanese 'Shinkansen' high speed trains when they were first introduced. The probably invented the name because they thought 'Shinkansen' was too complicated a word for their readers.Other countries have since built High Speed Lines and High Speed Trains, and the speeds have increased. For example TGV (France), ICE (Germany) etc.because of its high speed and its shape - the original bullet train in Japan had a bullet-shaped pointed nose iirc
