The last period of ancient Greek history was the Hellenistic period, which is categorised as starting from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC as ending with the annexation of Ptolemaic Egypt in 30 BC following the defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII by Octavian.
The generals were not merely strong, they were selfish as well. They wanted not only to protect everything, but control it and extend it under their control. Eventually, they pitted Romans against Romans in civil wars, as in the examples of Marius versus Sulla and Marc Antony versus Octavian. Octavian got sufficient control to have himself made emperor, and so the republic became a thing of the past. Though the functioning of the republic, such as the senate, continued, and the claim continued to be made that Rome was not a monarchy, this was a myth.
Most Romans welcomed the end of the Republic simply because they were sick and tired of civil war. The treasury was empty and a large part of the male population had been killed in the wars. When Octavian (Augustus) was finally able to bring them peace and the loot from Egypt, they embraced it. The late republic was dominated by a series of generals, starting about 100 BCE with Marius, then Sulla, Pompey, Julius Caesar, and so on. The power politics of these generals led to increasing bouts of civil war, and eventually the transformation of the Republic into the Empire.
There was none. The Romans hated even the word king and would never tolerate one. However after the fall of the Roman republic Octavian/Augustus was the "princeps" or first citizen. We call him an emperor, not a king.
The Romans, or any other people, needed a leader, someone to keep law and order and make decisions for defense. Monarchy was/is a form of government. At the time of the founding of Rome, it was the usual form of government, and the early Romans were no different from other people in having a king.
Hatred of Cleopatra united the Romans behind Octavian, who declared war on her. By her defeat, she enabled Octavian to change the Roman government from an ineffective republic to a principate.
