A word for 'a series of events'

Here are a few words:

Train
String
Proceedings

If you don't mind several words, how about:

Train of events
Succession of events.

The Revolution in Libya was comprised of a succession of several events.

How about :

"Revolution in Lybia coalesced due to combination of events."

or

"Revolution in Lybia developed due to combination of events."

Events being chronological is already inferred as no one has invented a time machine yet ( as we know of). Also there is a stronger condition has been imposed on the series of events, namely the specific combination ( be it their chronlogical order or type-of-event wise ).
