Historically, the Ten Plagues occurred over the course of one year (Mishna, Eduyot ch.2), which according to traditional chronology was 1313-1312 BCE. The plagues, in order, were: Blood, frogs, lice, swarms of animals, death to the flocks, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, death to the firstborn.
After the Plagues, Egypt was in turmoil for decades, as we may understand from the Ipuwer papyri (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). This (and evidence for the Exodus in general) may be seen here:http://www.academia.edu/1651319/Is_the_Exodus_Story_Possible

∙ 9y agoHistorically, the ten plagues never happened. Lester L. Grabbe says (Ancient Israel) that there is no period in the second half of the second millennium BCE when Egypt was subject to a series of plagues, death of children, physical disruption of the country and the loss of huge numbers of its inhabitants. He says there is no external evidence for such an event and any arguments must depend on the biblical tradition alone.

Is there a rational and scientific explanation for the ten plagues of Egypt in the Book of Exodus?
Archaeology is a science, and archaeologists say that the ten plagues never happened. So the rational and scientific explanation is that there never were the ten plagues of Egypt. In fact, the respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that over 90 per cent of scholars believe that the Exodus from Egypt never happened [allowing for those scholars who accept no evidence contrary to a literal reading of the Bible].
What is the cause of the ten plagues of Egypt?

What happened to the egyptians after the 10 plagues?
After the 10 plagues, the Egyptians allowed the Israelites to leave Egypt. As the Israelites left, Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued them, leading to the parting of the Red Sea and the drowning of Pharaoh's army. This event marked the end of the Israelites' enslavement in Egypt.
The ten plages?
The Ten Plagues or "The 10 Wonders of God" were 10 events taking place in Egypt in the book of Exodus from the Bible. According to the Bible the 10 plagues were caused by God as punishment to Egypt for not letting the enslaved Jews be set free. According to the book of Exodus Moses (A shepherd sent by God) asked the pharoah of Egypt to let God's people go. The pharoah refused. So God sent these 10 plagues upon the Egyptians and their land: the plague of Blood, Frogs, Gnats, Flies, Boils, Hail and fire, Locusts, total darkness, and the final plague: every firstborn son in Egypt was killed by the Angel of Death. After the last of these the Pharoah finally let the Jews who had been slaves under Egypt free.
Which country suffered ten plagues?
The Bible says that God brought down ten terrible plagues on the nation of Egypt during the time of Moses and just before the Exodus, which is said to have taken place approximately 1440 BCE. We can expect the economic and social impact of these plagues to have been so dramatic that a good deal of evidence would be found in the Egyptian archaeological record. However, nothing has been found, either in the written records or in artefacts from the period, and the Egyptian economy continued on as if nothing had happened, not only through the fifteenth century but for centuries to come. The only rational conclusion seems to be that the ten biblical plagues never really happened in Egypt.
