The Wars between Upper and Lower Egypt, also known as the Upper-Lower Egyptian Wars, were a series of conflicts between Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt that occurred sometime between 3600 BCE and 3200 BCE, and was one of the earliest conflicts in recorded history. Not much is known about these wars other than that they either happened or were simply mythical. No specific battles have been documented, and Ancient Egyptian scriptures only barely acknowledge them. However, it is known that these wars took place prior to Narmer's unification campaign in 3150 BCE.
It is unknown what the outcome of these conflicts were. Given that Upper and Lower Egypt continued to exist after they had concluded, its obvious they had little to no impact, although actual victors and losers cannot be determined. It is also possible that Narmer's unification war was the last of these conflicts.
