There were quite a few negative effects of the New Imperialism...I think like one main thing would be that a lot of people lost lands and there a lot of people being forced to be slaves like In Congo, Leopold and other wealthy Belgians exploited the riches of the Congo. There were horrifying reports of Belgian overseers being brutal to the villagers. they forced them to work for practically nothing and they were beaten and mutilized. This makes me superly duperly mad just talking about it. Or technically writing. hehe. But, most of the population decreased for these reasons. Another negative effect of the New Imperialism would be how the Africans Resisted Imperialism. There were a few battles with France resisting the Imperialism. The Astante in West Africa, their king was exiled and they put their queen in charge of them, her name was weird, Yaa Asantewaa. just picture me withat that name:D. But she led them against the British in the last Asante war. Ethiopia though, successfully resisted Imperialism.
