The phrase "shots heard around the world" refers to the first shots fired in the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. These battles marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War between the American colonists and British forces. The confrontation took place in Massachusetts and played a pivotal role in escalating tensions that eventually led to the Declaration of Independence and the formation of the United States.
