Late Sat Mid EDT The Aztecs movie (The Temple Of Evil, The Warriors Of Death, The Bride Of Sacrifice, The Day Of Darkness)
Barbara is mistaken for an Aztec god. The Doctor fears that power corrupts, and that Barbara might try to use her influence to stop the Aztecs from sacrificing humans, which would alter their culture to the point that it might not be wiped out by the Spanish. This would create a devastating change to human history. Neighboring tribes to the Aztecs, who made up most of the people being slaughtered as sacrifices, probably would not have shared the Doctor's concern.
