During a war, a "front" is a place where armies are fighting battles. In World War I, most of the major battles were in Europe.

So in World War I, "Western Front" refers to the front in the western portion of Europe- it was mainly in northern France, where Germany had invaded. The "Eastern Front" was in Eastern Europe, primarily around the borders between Russia and Germany/Austria-Hungary.
