Explanation:

Samuel Langhorne Clemens known as Mark Twain was a famous American writer mainly known for his novels The Adventure of Tom Sawyer published in 1876 and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn published in 1885. Twain was born in 1835 in Florida Missouri but grew up in Hannibal, Missouri which was an inspiration for its novels. Samuel Langhorne Clemens got his pen name "Mark Twain" as he worked on riverboats in which the workers used to shout "Mark Twain" that meant according to the mark, the deep is two (twain is the old word for two) fathoms (12 feet) and thus, it was safe for the boat to cross, even though Clemens had more than one pen name the one he used the most was Mark Twain. Thus, the American author born in Missouri and whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens was Mark Twain.

Explain in one to two sentences how US involvement in the Cold War represented a shift from isolationism to intervention.

Answers

The main way in which the US involvement in the Cold War represented a shift from isolationism to intervention is that it caused the US to get involved in several "proxy wars" (for instance in Korea and Vietnam), which were meant to stop the spread of communism. 

The correct answer is: "During the Cold War era the US adopted the policy of containment".

After WWII, The US had adopted the containment strategy, a foreign affairs approach which focused on stopping the spread of communism worldwide. This is why the US started the Marshall Plan initiative, and sent financial aid to help rebuild Western European countries, in order to set an alliance with them against the expansion of the URSS that had already turned many Eastern European countries into Soviet republics, soon after the end of WWII.

This postwar attitude sharply contrasts with the former isolationism,  through which the US aimed to avoid economic or political entanglements abroad.
