The problem was probably you are using newer version of babel(versions which comes after 6). Because i faced the same problem like you.Try using a version which is older like as follows,

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-core/5.8.34/browser.js"></script>

JSX cannot be interpreted by browsers so you cannot do things like return <div>MyComponent</div> directly in an HTML page that you intend to render on a browser like this. You will need to transpile the JSX into ES5 using Babel before gicing it to the browser to interpret.
