what happened at this time?

Suez Crisis. Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, Britain and France supported an Israeli invasion (with Israel promising to return the canal to its rightful owners) and then the USSR and America took Egypt's side. Europe/Isreal won militarily, but the threat of sanctions from Eisenhower forced a withdrawl. This was the last time Western Europe supported its own interests. America's betrayal during Suez directly led to the genocide of Whites all across Africa, starting with the Congo Crisis just a couple years later.

Why did the USSR and US support Egypt?

How did it lead to the genocide of Whites in Africa?

USSR supported Egypt because they were doing all they could to weaken Western Europe.

America supported Egypt because Eisenhower thought he could get Nasser (and the rest of subsequently decolonized Africa) on America's side. The concern was that Britain and France's actions could strengthen Soviet links with liberation movements, which were already fully aligned with the Soviets. It was the first of the typical American cuckery we know today- betraying our own people in the hope our enemies will take our side. I really can't give a coherent explanation for why we did this pants-on-head retarded move.

This caused the collapse of the British Empire, and a pretty immediate end to colonies in general. The first major casualty was the Belgian Congo, which was actually prospering during the 1950s and creating a Black middle class, and opportunities for the native Blacks while still protecting Whites as well. As soon as Belgium pulled out, the Whites were killed, and the country fell into civil war. Whites were killed across all of "decolonized" Africa, as "decolonization" means Whites who can afford to leave do so, and those who cannot afford to leave get killed.

As soon as Belgium pulled out

They just abandoned the colony? They didn't try to offer people passage back to Belgium or something? They pulled out because the fastest way to get there was the Suez Canal?

They didn't try to do a transfer of power to a local government? Or they did, but it didn't stick and civil war happened?

Look up the Congo Crisis. Yes, they pretty much just abandoned the colony.

Not because they needed Suez specifically. Suez Crisis was the historical turning point that put "decolonization" into full gear.
