She probably found out how the civilizations from the Valley of Mexico on south treated each other. The largest cache of human remains I’ve heard of had more than 250,000 sacrificed skulls, but there are many thousands of caches of victims. It shocked even the Spaniards. It should be no surprise that the revolts against the Inca and Aztec overlords were popular rebellions.
Yep, that’s how a relative handful of Spaniards conquered indigenous rulers. The Aztecs were such brutal rulers that even Conquistadors seemed like an improvement.

With facts like that, I think it would attract Millie lime flies to honey
Probably true. They were not “nice” civilizations, to put it it mildly.
Yes, but few civilizations except maybe Western can be called “nice”. And Western Civilization had the Third Reich.
