Yep!
Ok how the flip does that answer the question.
I apologize for the confusion. The correct statement is:
Brazil gained its independence through a process known as the Brazilian War of Independence, which began in 1822. Portugal's royal family declared Brazil's independence and established the Empire of Brazil with Pedro I as its emperor.
