Not by a longshot; Tommy Steele's Vipers and Cliff Richard's Shadows predated The Beatles by several years, among others. The Beatles were the first English rock group to gain wide acceptance outside Britain, however.

They were English, so presumably it did. The Beatles were so influential that in a sense they defined what was English for that era. In another sense, popular music is so international that it's hard to know which English speaking country has produced something.
