The development of tanks took place separately in both Britain and France, beginning in late 1914. Experiments in both countries with vehicles running on caterpillar tracks led to the creation of tanks, and both countries placed orders for large numbers in February 1916 (GB 150, France 400). When the two countries became aware of each other's activities, in May 1916, France had ordered a further 400. The Russians also carried out some experiments early in the War, but no machines went into production.
It is true that vehicles very similar to tanks were designed in several countries between 1903 and 1912 (including France, Russia, Austria, and Australia) but none was taken any further.
It's a complicated story but the fairest answer to the question as it is phrased is: Great Britain and France.
It's important to dispel two myths. Leonardo da vinci did not "invent the tank", and, whatever you might read on the Internet, Joseph Hawker is not considered to be "the father of the tank" by anyone.
