Which of the following was not an important challenge facing Latin America immediately after independence? A conflicts over conservative and liberal political ideologies
В. the flight of wealthy Spaniards back to Europe
C. the immediate and continued invasion by Spanish forces
D. weakened economies due to the destruction of farms and mines

The immediate and continued invasion by Spanish forces was not a challenge for the Latin American countries after they gained independence.

Explanation:

When the Latin American countries entered into revolutions for independence they were fighting against the Spanish. One by one, all countries, with joined forces, managed to defeat the Spanish and kick them out of Latin America. The Spanish never returned even though they wanted, but they simply didn't have the economic power and military power to go to conquest again.

Once the Spanish were kicked out, the Latin American countries had their faith in their own hands, though some countries tried to interfere with it and managed to a certain degree in some of them. The Spanish were never a problem, but internal conflicts for power between different political fractions, economies in dire situations, as well as a lot of wealth being taken out by the rich Spanish that abandoned them resulted in a long and painful process to stability and creation of good conditions.
