Is the meaning intended: "they swore to take revenge from that country"?

yes, that's what it says :P

Native check completed!
The sentence was orphaned so I adopted it.
the expression is "to take revenge on*" (never 'from')

Yes, indeed. Thanks, @Dejo, for the correction of my typo.

I had another look; there was nothing wrong with the original sentence so I changed it back.
