Can i join the british army i am 35 and American?
I believe you would need to be a citizen of the UK for 5 years or more, but you may not be accepted because of your age after the 5 year minimum timeframe expires, however, you can still join the Territorial Army, or Voluntary reserves in the other forces branches - RAFVR for the Royal Air Force and RNR for the Royal navy. Look on the British Consulate in the USA's website for visa infos, which has been made slightly more complex due to the EU membership of the UK, but has multiple benefits, such as being able to work/live in most EU countries with no need for a visa, and no border controls for countries on the continent.

What was the biggest loss for a British Army on American soil before the American Revolution?
a. wolfe's loss on the cliff of Quebec b. Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity c. Amherst's fall at Louisburg d. Braddock's ambush near fort Duquesne ========================================================= Last time I checked, General Wolfe actually won the Battle of the Plains of Abraham at Quebec (although he died in the process). Furthermore, the Plains of Abraham were - and still are - in Quebec City, which is in the Province of Quebec, which is in Canada. As such, it is not 'on American soil.' Louisbourg (not Louisburg) was actually captured twice by the British from the French. Neither was a loss for the British, and there was not a third time. And furthermore, as above, Louisbourg was - and still is - on Cape Breton Island, which is part of the Province of Nova Scotia, which is in Canada. As such, it too is not 'on American soil.' I heartily recommend spending a day exploring the restored Fortress of Louisbourg. It's less than an hour south of Sydney, Nova Scotia.
