ARPANET, developed in 1969, is often referred to as the precursor to the modern internet. It was a pioneering packet-switching network funded by the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) during the Cold War, aimed at facilitating communication among research institutions. ARPANET laid the foundational technologies and protocols that eventually evolved into the global internet we use today.

The ARPANET began during the cold war in 1969 what do we call this today?

wide area computer network established in 1968 that primarily connected universities and research centers Forerunner of the Internet created by the United States military during the cold war. ARPANET was designed by its founders to be a military command and control center that could withstand nuclear attack. ARPANET's founders designed it so that authority was distributed over a large number of geographically dispersed computers. This concept of a computer network with distributed authority is the basis of the Internet. Theoretically, if 90% of the Internet were destroyed by nuclear attack, the remaining servers would be able to continue on--assuming that all life on Earth were not obliterated. Over time the defense-oriented purpose of the Internet was broadened to include research and development, universities and education, and recently, commerce.
