What was the importace of the Boston Massacre Boston Tea Party and the Shot Heard Around the World?

Answer 1

The Boston Massacre was a tussle between citizens and British troops that got out of hand and was then used as a Propaganda ploy to incite further opposition to the governing and taxing policy of the British government.

The Boston Tea Party was a protest against subsidized prices of tea from the British East India Company being sold in the colonies. The Government reaction to it was closure of the Port of Boston, among other things, and this, too became part of the agitation against governing policies.

The "shot heard 'round the world" is a fanciful term for the first shot fired during the face-off between British Troops and the Minutemen on Lexington Green. No one knows who fired it, but it began the hostilities that became the American Revolution.

The phrase "shot heard 'round the world" has also been applied to the skirmish at North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, later that day and to other, unrelated gun shots, including the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, leading to the Frist World War.
