In my humble opinion, the New Imperialism was an extremely negative period in history. I think this because it consisted of a very hard time for those natives who were conquered by the Europeans. When the natives resisted, great struggles broke out that turned into wars, such as with the Boer War in southern Africa, the Sepoy Rebellion against the British in India and the Boxer Rebellion in China. In this case, negative effects are clear. There would be slaughter of those fighting on both sides and therefore great sufferning. Then with the results of the struggles- usually domination by the winning side, only more pain and suffering would be caused. Overall, the New Imperialism was made negative by the conquests and struggles that resulted from it.
