Countries like Mughal India and Qing China were weaker than the strong unified European states. Europeans came in and conquered or dominated these countries and new African states were not yet ready to resist this conquering. Africans tried to resist but this created something of a genocide in different parts of Africa. The Europeans had their Maxim guns while the Africans had their spears. When the Africans would try and resist, they would be slaughtered by the Maxim gun.
The New Imperialism had negative effects on the Asians and Africans. After most of the resisters were slaughtered, the ones that were conquered had to follow under European rule. This would dishearten a person's spirit and make them forget what country they were living in before they were dominated. Slavey had already drained most of the African spirit and this kind of worldly domination would bring these people down even more.
Thoughtful responses on the question of positive and negative effects. Does need a spell check (slavey)
