Conspiracy

In Ancient Rome, the Doctor appeared to sense some sort of conspiracy, but could not identify it until Vicki causally let slip that she has been involved in a plot with Maximus, Tavius, and Locusta to poison Nero. Despite agreeing with the plotters on Nero’s evil, the Doctor was forced to scupper their plans and save Nero’s life in order to preserve the space-time continuum. Nero tricked a slave into drinking the wine to see if the Doctor was telling the truth, and it killed him. (TV: "Conspiracy")

It was something on which the Thirteenth Doctor's view alternated. Though she initially claimed to "love a conspiracy", (TV: Arachnids in the UK) she later said that she did not like conspiracies. She went on to say that the problem with conspiracies was that there was so much to think about. (TV: Kerblam!)

Nazi leader Adolf Hitler responded in his suicide note to allegations of starting World War II by claiming have been provoked into it by a Jewish conspiracy (PROSE: The Shadow in the Glass). However, the defence did not appear to be taken seriously, and most accounts placed the blame for the war squarely at his feet (TV: Silver Nemeis, Let's Kill Hitler, PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus, The Spear of Destiny)
