Is the word "against" the right word to use in the following statement?

“What country got it’s independence against….(whatever country) in…(whatever year)?” Does it make it sound like it was aboout trying to harm the country it got it’s independence from?
In English it’s the word “from” that’s used. “What country got it’s independence “from”…”
