The Battle of Concord led directly to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. Fought on April 19, 1775, it was part of the larger conflict that began with the battles of Lexington and Concord, where colonial militia confronted British troops. This confrontation galvanized colonial resistance against British authority, ultimately leading to the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The events marked a significant escalation in the struggle for American independence.

The principal events that led to armed conflict were the taxes on the colonists, the increase of military presences in the colonies, and after the Boston Tea Party, Britain's declaration that Massachusetts was in open rebellion. The British had passed the Intolerable Acts to principally attack Massachustts and on April 18, 1775 the British troops were planning to march on Concord that night. Joseph Warren got ahold of this information and immediately dispatched couriers to alert residents of the news. This allowed colonists to arm themselves and meet the British for battle at Lexington.
The battle at Lexington was known as "The shot heard round' the world." Mostly because it was the first shot that started the Rev. War, fired by Britain because the soldier thought he heard a gun shot. Concord was an attempt to attack the British and stop them, because they were marching toward Boston to take their ammunition and guns.

No one led the battle of Lexington. It was an event that just happened and history does not report who fired the first shot. The British were enroute to Concord when they found the 77 colonist on the Lexington green. Someone fired the first shot and soon a battle began. When it was all done the British reorganized and continued their march to Concord.
The events were that there was a battle of Concord.
