What was one of julius Caesar's achievements?
He fought battles, subdued provinces, defeated internal enemies, but then so had plenty of others who had won most of the empire. Fabius Maximus got Maximus - the Greatest, while Pompey and even Alexander only got Magnus - the Great. It might have been the greatest problem of all of stabilising the Roman state however he wasn't smart enough how to work it out. He improved on Sulla's attempt, but by making himself dictator for life, had no enduring solution and it naturally fell apart when his life was ended. Solving that main problem was left to Augustus. His accomplisment was rather one of public relations. Post mortem, he was raised amongst the gods. He didn't get Great or Greatest, he simply got Caesar - he became the image of a successful and divine ruler - so successfully was this presented that subsequent rulers wanted the trademark name of Caesar. Augustus, his adopted son, took the name Caesar, as did the subsequent emperors. We even find this down to the Czar of Russia and Kaiser of Germany (both corruptions of Caesar). Even though Caesar is a jocular catch name for Baldy (baldness ran in his family, and although Caesar meant 'fine head of hair' it was a joke) later important people all were quite anxious for the title because of the aura of success, invicibility and divine right.

How does monarchy relate to Julius Caesar?
No, actually though he is looked at as an emperor his actual position in government was "dictator for life" though the Roman government could only elect a dictator to serve for up to 6 months (the position was made by Julius himself). Before Caesar was dictator he was a general and he was finishing his campaign in Gaul when he received orders to return to Rome. The reason for which being that he was being accused of having plans to overthrow the government. All Roman generals were required to leave their Legions in the province in which they served. But because of loyal friends and supporters in Rome Caesar came to know about the accusation and brought his legions with him. Crossing into the Italian peninsula with his army was of course an act of war so he then had to defeat the general who had actually accused him of plotting to attack Rome. Upon the defeat of Rome Caesar took office and declared himself "dictator for life".

How did the First Triumvirate help cause the end of the Roman Republic?
The demise of the first triumvirate helped cause the end of the republic because after the death of Crassus, Caesar and Pompey had a political split with Pompey being commissioned by the senate to defend Rome against Caesar who had started the civil war by marching into Italy. The civil war ended with Caesar the victor and being made dictator which was an office that suspended all normal politics for as long as the dictator was in power. Caesar was in power for life, so there went the republic.
Who was killed for trying to be the first Roman Emperor?
No one. You might be thinking of Julius Caesar, but he never tried to be an emperor. He didn't have to because he had been named dictator for life. A dictator had all the powers of an emperor but was still a tool of the republic, and if he stepped down, the republican form of government would continue.
