Rome did not need to remain a Republic. The system of governance of the Republic was collapsing under the weight of imperial epxansion. The central government had lost control. The governors of the provinces acted independently from it. The armies around the empire could be used by powerful men to get what they wanted. The system was highly corrupt. Julius Caesar realised this and was reforming the system. To make this work power needed to be concentrated in the hands of one man. There were two problems with this. One was that the conservatives resented Caesar's growing power and the senate's loss of power. The other was that the Republic had been the result of the overthrow of the last king who was a tyrant. Because of this Roman culture was opposed to having a king. Caesar was accused of trying to become a king. Julius Caesar's adoptive son Octavian (later called Augustus) achieved his aim when he won the civil wars.

That is why part certain parties of Rome wish to kill Julius Caesar .
Sorry to disagree but I don't think Julius was the greatest general of all time. All he conquered was Gaul and only raided Briton. His greatness is more a result of his own self-promotion, not actual conquests.
