Is it true that Julius Caesar caused the fall of the Roman Republic?
Partly. Several reference and scholarly items say Caesar played a critical role in the events that led to the Roman Republic's demise, and one essay argues his ambition caused its end. Other items attribute the fall to civil war, structural decay, or the power struggle after his assassination rather than to Caesar alone.
