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

Historically, 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.

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.
