'shot heard round the world'.
Because it was the battle that started the Revolutionary war.
Ralph Waldo Emerson referred to the first shot fired at the Battle of Lexington in 1775 as the "shot heard round the world" because he believed it symbolized the start of a global movement for freedom and democracy. The event marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War and inspired other countries to challenge oppressive systems of government.
He wrote the poem in which that line appears (the Concord Hymn) in 1837. The event he was writing about happened in 1775.

Ralph Waldo Emerson referred to the Battle of Concord as the "shot heard 'round the world" in his poem "Concord Hymn." This phrase highlights the significance of the battle in sparking the American Revolutionary War.
Simply put, the first shot fired in the American Revolution, described as the "shot heard round the world" , by Mr. Emerson? Metaphorically speaking, the shot would cause all the world to realize that a new era was beginning at this point in history. The first of the New World colonies to throw off the not so symbolic "yoke of oppression" mounted upon them by the Old World counties to which they were attached to or hailed from. The "shot heard round the world" would cause all tyrannical nations to sit up and pay heed to this fact. The colonies were in fact, countries unto themselves, and capable and willing to fight for the right of self government. A whole new era in history began at this point in time......BANG! as Emerson so eloquently stated, "We are off and running".
The "shot heard round the world" is a phrase from Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Concord Hymn" written in 1837:By the rude bridge that arched the flood,Their flag to April's breeze unfurled;Here once the embattled farmers stood,And fired the shot heard 'round the world.The poem refers to the beginning of the American Revolutionary War and the "shot heard round the world," was at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, considered to be the first open conflict of the war. The shots fired there were the beginning of a war that would so drastically change the future of the world (with the eventual creation of the United States), that the world could almost hear it.
The shots were considered to be the beginning of the American Revolution, and the American Revolution had worldwide impact. The beginning events were "heard around the world" because of the eventual impact of what followed.
In 1775.
