It was only indirectly that his rule led to the end of the Roman Republic. Before he was murdered, Caesar had been appointed Dictator (a perfectly honorable appointment in those days) by the Roman Senate, and he was always very anxious to act within the laws of the Republic and honor its institutions.

It was his murder that led to the second Civil War and the eventual victory and power of his adopted son Octavius, better know as the later Emperor Augustus. Historians generally mark hisrise to power as the end of the Roman Republic, although Augustus himself never formally abolished any of the Republic's institutions.

How did the feelings and actions of Brutus lead to the tragedy of Julius Caesar?

Brutus was among a group of Roman senators that believed Julius Caesar had too much power. Brutus felt that any hope of returning Rome back into some form of a republic would be lost if Caesar was allowed to continue on the path he was following. Brutus believed that Julius Caesar wanted to become the king of the Roman empire. Brutus became a secret enemy of Caesar. He certainly had fear of his own life as Caesar had dictatorial powers and could use them against any internal Roman foe. Based on this Brutus conspired to assassinate Julius Caesar. The deed was accomplished in the Senate chambers and Brutus was among those who stabbed Caesar to death, thus the tragedy of Caesar and the lament of Caesar's friends.


Why did the roman senate be likely to lead the opposition to Caesar's growing power?

The Roman senate did not lead the opposition to Caesar's powers. It was the senate that gave Caesar his powers in the first place and seemed to be trying to outdo itself in awarding him new honors. At the time of Julius Caesar, the senate consisted of from between 600 and 900 senators. Only 30 or 60 senators (depending on your source) were in on the plot to assassinate Caesar. Those few men were the idealists who thought that they were saving the republic by their act.
