The first Crusaders arrived in Antioch, Ancient Syria, marking the beginning of the First Crusade. This event paved the way for the eventual capture of Jerusalem by the Crusaders. In a separate development, Chinese forces attempted an uprising in the Philippines, but it was unsuccessful, resulting in the death of 23,000 people. In the United States, the U.S. Senate ratified the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the country and opening up vast new territories for expansion.
Additionally, Alice Paul, a prominent U.S. suffragette, began a seven-month jail sentence for peacefully picketing at the White House, advocating for the Women's Suffrage Amendment.
