Answer: The first shot of the battle of Lexington and Concord

Step-by-step explanation:

While it is unknown whether the British or the Colonists fired the shot, "The shot heard round the world" refers to the first bullet fired in the Revolutionary War. For a group of farmers (the Colonists) to stand up to the British Empire was unprecedented, hence the dramatic name.
