During the independence movements of many Latin American countries, many wealthy citizens moved back to Spain. Explain why this presented a problem for the new nations.

This was a problem because the wealthy citizens of the new Latin American countries possessed much needed capital and skills to develop the new nations.

The rulers of the new nations needed these wealthy citizens to provide their capital and labor to start new development processes in agriculture, industry, infraestructure, and so on.
