The Quenminese Front was a theater of conflict between the Inner Sphere and the Common Axis during the Siduri War, pitting the Republic of Syara and Fascist Allamunnika against Quenmin, Cacerta, and Ruvelkan forces in exile. The conflict ocurred largely within Quenmin and along the Quenminese-Allamunnic border. It is known among Syaran histographers as the Eastern Front, and among general historians as the Eastern Siduri Theater.

The Quenminese Front began in October 1934 when the Army of the Syaran Republic and the Allamunnic Army launched a joint invasion of Quenmin, overrunning the Quenminese border and armed forces. The Inner Sphere advance was halted during the winter, and Quenminese forces were thereafter reinforced with fresh Cacertian troops. In the spring of 1935 the Inner Sphere launched a second offensive, but suffered heavy casualties and made little progress. In autumn the Common Axis launched a counter-offensive, repelling Inner Sphere forces back throughout the front. Inner Sphere fortunes were revived with the launch of Operation Rhipsaspia in April 1936, but in the summer Common Axis armored forces routed the Inner Sphere from Quenmin almost entirely. Quenmin served as the staging ground for a Common Axis invasion of Allamunnika in the fall of 1936, though it was beaten back after heavy Inner Sphere losses. Another attempt at invading Quenmin by the Inner Sphere was beaten back in early 1937, followed by a major counter-offensive that drove deep into southern Allamunnika, triggering it's withdrawal from the war.

The battles on the Quenminese Front saw the bloodiest fighting and largest engagements of the Siduri War, and some of the largest military confrontations in history. Over ten million troops took part in the theater at all times, resulting in more than eight million people killed and nearly 20 million wounded. The Quenminese Front heavily influenced the outcome of the war, as Quenmin became the staging ground for Common Axis invasions of Allamunnika, which eventually succeeded in knocking them out of the war. Both sides comitted various war crimes, including the torture and starvation of prisoners of war, and aerial bombings of civilian targets. The fighting on the Quenminese Front also produced some of the most well known commanders on both sides of the war, inclduing Kiều Hữu Dương and Zdravko Merakovski.
