After the assassination of Caesar, Cassius went to the east to gather troops from the governors of that area of the empire. He advanced as far as Laodicea in northern Syria. He was preparing to march on Egypt, but when the Second Triumvirate (the alliance between Octavian, Mark Antony and Lepidus) was formed he went to Syrmia, in western Turkey) to join the troops of Brutus. Brutus and Cassius fought Octavian and Mark Anthony in Greece.
When he was in Syria, Crassus imposed a tribute of 700 talents of Judea. Herod paid his 100 talents from Galilee. The cities of Gophna, Emmaus, Lydda, and Thamna delayed paying and Crassus enslaved their citizens. He appointed Herod governor of Syria and according to Josephus even promised to make him king of Judea. However, Cassius left for Syria soon afterwards.
Rome was just about constantly involved in some type of military action from the time of Caesar's assassination to the victory of Octavian at Actium -- a period of thirteen years.

Cleopatra was the catalyst that provoked the final conflict between Antony and Octavian and ultimately brought Octavian into supreme power.
When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.When Octavian died he was given a state funeral, was deified and was replaced by his heir, Tiberius.
After Caesar's assassination, Marc Antony, as the only remaining counsul, acted to try to compromise between the assassins and the Caesarian party, for the good of the city. Afterwards, he joined with Octavian and brought Caesar's assassins to justice. He also, indirectly, contributed to the establishment of the Principate, by breaking with Octavian and losing at Actium.
Eastern church already had an emperor. Hope that helps :)
Brutus clashes with Antony after Caesar's murder. Cassius and Antony are friends after the murder.
Yes, but not immediately. Rome was in turmoil after Caesar murder and Antony and the Senate came to a loose compromise which rather rewarded the assassins but kept Caesar's acts in force as law. Then Octavian came on the scene and after a bumpy relationship with Marc Antony, they joined forces in a war of vengeance against Caesar's killers. Eventually, Antony and Octavian had a war for supremacy, which was a civil war in all but name. It was thirteen years after Caesar's death that this last war took place.

Marc Antony did very little to help Rome. After Caesar's assassination he came to a compromise with the conspirators and brought about a relative calm to the city and he won the battle of Philippi where he and Octavian defeated Brutus and Cassius. Other than those two events there was little else that he did as a patriot. However in a left handed way he did help Rome, as it was his actions in the east that brought about the civil war between him and Octavian. After defeating Antony, Octavian became the sole ruler and ushered in the era of the Pax Romana.Marc Antony did very little to help Rome.

Brutus orders Cassius to stap him in the heart but Cassius refuses.
Cleopatra gained prominence and importance at the time of the split between Antony and Octavian. Octavian used her as an excuse to wage the final civil war of the republic.Cleopatra gained prominence and importance at the time of the split between Antony and Octavian.

Cassius's taking of bribes.
The alliance between Antony, Octavian and Lepidus was called the second triumvirate.
The second triumvirate ended when Lepidus tried to usurp power from Octavian and Octavian turned the tables on him and usurped the power from Lepidus. Then the animosity between Antony and Octavian boiled over into civil war ending the alliance.The second triumvirate ended when Lepidus tried to usurp power from Octavian and Octavian turned the tables on him and usurped the power from Lepidus.

The friendship bond between Cassius and Caesar is portrayed as a strong bond. Caesar even made Cassius legate at some point and employed him to the Alexandrian War.
Cassius plans to stay and wait with his army so that when Antony and Octavius get towards them they will be tired and use their resources; however Brutus over rules his plan with his own. He wanted their military to go towards them, because there was a city between the their army and Antony's, and if they didn't get their first Antony could persuade them to join forces with them, making them more powerful then his own army.
The Battle of Actium was the definitive clash of two Romans for supreme power. Although the war was nominally against Cleopatra, it was actually a civil war between the forces of Octavian and the forces of Antony.
