What did web services replace?

I was asked this question in an interview and had no idea. And I still don't. I thought they were created for this purpose, not to replace something that already exists. Any thoughts?

In oversimplified terms web services 'replaced' older RPC technologies like COM+ and CORBA

CORBA might be what the interviewer had expected you to answer. Or maybe RMI for java2java communication.

Probably the interviewer wanted to name some particular term but they improved the way different applications and systems communicate with each other.
