The Quenmin-Aichi conflict is a conflict between Quenmin and Aichi on the issues of irredentism and independence.
Aichi broke off from the Lận Dynasty in 1816, with the Ông Dynasty, formerly the noble Ông family, acquiring independent sovereignty. Since then, the Quenminese government at the time was eyeing for Aichi's re-integration through a costly four-year war, of whom were defeated. The last Lận emperor, Ðình Phú, was considering another invasion, however, financial struggles and political corruption plagued the Dynasty's hold on the rest of Quenmin, and his government officially dismantled as he abdicated, ignited the Fourth Quenminese Anarchy, leaving Aichi to retain its uninterrupted independence for 30 years. Eventually, when the Phạm Dynasty was in state power, Emperor Bảo Thịnh ensured that Aichi would remain independent. Nevertheless, this decision would contend against irredentist politicians desiring to completely re-integrate Aichi into Quenmin and discuss plans to implement their vision. In 1893, Mạc Đăng Kinh was appointed Prime Minister of Quenmin, conjuring fears among Aichi's government due to his warmongering policies. After an assassination attempt on the Emperor and the Prime Minister occurred on 31 May 1989, Kinh declared war on 1 June, which resulted in Aichi's annexation during the 1898-1902 war. Two subsequent uprisings were ignited by Aichian pro-independence provisional governments, which were then suppressed by the Quenminese government. Aichi continued to remain under Quenminese sovereignty until 1945, where an agreement convened by Prime Minister Thạch Liễng Chánh enabled Aichi to function as an autonomous region. While it was able to retain its republican government, Aichi was still linked to the Quenminese government via a governor-general, resulting in contention from more pro-independence groups. Eventually, in 1966, these groups, ignited a rebellion to breakaway from the authoritarian government of Nguyễn Công Thịnh Bảo, which resulted in an unsuccessful attempt to gain full independence. When Đỗ Kim Ngữ held office, she began the process of granting Aichi full independence, consequently culminating in the Nam Quang-Kiên Giang Accords in 1973. The conflict then entered a low-level phase when Quenmin under Nguyễn-Thạch Sĩ Chiến bombed a cargo ship in the Aichian port city of Thanh Bí, which contained fugitives from ARPAGHARCON, resulting in heated tensions re-surging, until it was abated due to Lê Tấn Nguyên's 1995 Reparations Agreement.
To this day, Quenmin and Aichi uphold friendly relations, although the Dissident Aichian insurgency roused suspicions of low-level Quenminese intervention and assistance toward the insurgent paramilitaries.
