Were all European encounters negative?

I'm guessing you mean European encounters with non-European countries. If this is the case, then absolutely not. Marco Polo's travels to China were greatly beneficial to both Europe and Asia as they established the Silk Road from one end of Eurasia to the other. Initial contact with Africa was positive, as European explorers were amazed and impressed with the orderliness of African towns and villages. Initial contact with the Native Americans was extremely promising. The "negative" encounters began when the Europeans decided they could exploit the people they encountered. Although, to be fair, Europe's history in the middle east is almost universally negative.
