Answer 1

The primary factor that accounts for the spike in Cuban immigration in the early 1960s is the **communist takeover of the Cuban government**. After Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959, many Cubans fled the country due to political repression, economic difficulties, and the shift towards a communist regime.
