At Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, American Patriots confronted British troops in the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War. The skirmish at Lexington began when colonial militia members faced British soldiers, resulting in the "shot heard 'round the world." Following this, a larger confrontation occurred at Concord, where Patriots successfully pushed back British forces, marking a significant escalation in the conflict between the colonies and Britain. These battles galvanized colonial resistance and led to wider support for independence.
