The phrase "the shot heard 'round the world" refers to the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. It specifically denotes the first gunfire that sparked the conflict between American colonists and British troops at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. This moment symbolized the start of the struggle for American independence.
American attitudes towards World War 1 at its outbreak were most feelings of indifference. At the time, most Americans had no interest in exerting American interests on other countries and favored isolationism. However, several incidents shifted American opinion until eventually the US declared war on Germany, with full public support.

At the beginning of World War I, American opinion was largely characterized by isolationism, with many citizens and leaders believing the U.S. should avoid involvement in European conflicts. Public sentiment was influenced by a mix of sympathy for the Allies, particularly Britain and France, and a desire to maintain neutrality to protect American interests. The sinking of the Lusitania and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram began to shift public opinion, fostering a growing sentiment for intervention. Ultimately, these events crystallized a sense of moral obligation to support the Allies and defend democratic ideals.
