Through the overthrow of the last king, Taruinius Priscus, whose rule was despotic. The spark was the rape of Lucretia, an aristocratic woman, by Sextus Tarquinius, the king's son, and her subsequent suicide. Lucius Junius Brutus led the rebellion. He got the Romans to swear never to allow anyone to become king again. He is also the one who came up with the idea of having two annually elected consuls to avoid tyranny. The king was outside the city leading a siege at Ardea. On hearing of the revolt, he headed for Rome, but found the gates closed and had to leave. Junius Brutus went to Ardea to inform the soldiers there that the assembly of the soldiers had endorsed the republic. Lucius Junius Brutus and Lucretia's husband became first consuls. Apart form the consulship, the institutions were the same as in the monarchy: the senate remained an advisory body and the assemblies of the tribes and the soldiers (created by the 5th king) remained the voting bodies.

Archaeological signs of widespread burning in Rome which were previously thought to be dating to the Gallic sack of 390 BC, have now been re-dated to around the time of these events. Therefore, the regime change may have been more violent that the story says.

If not for Julius Caesar would the Roman Republic have given way to the Roman Empire?

Okay, your question needs a twofold answer. First of all the Roman republic and the Roman empire were different entities. The Republic was/is a form of government; an empire is a large holding of some sort. The two are not identical. And no, Julius Caesar did not bring down the Roman republic. The republic had been dying or even considered dead since at least the time of the first triumvirate. Caesar merely was fortunate enough to take advantage of the opportunities that opened up for him.
