The Roman Republic was not defeated - it unravelled as a result of the 2nd C BCE Germanic invasion. Marius as consul was forced to recruit from the unpropertied class to get the numbers to match the hordes of Germanic people who were on the move. These unpropertied soldiers were dependent on their generals for pay, loot and land for settlement, and so the generals were able to blackmail the state into unconstitutional concessions. Sulla tried to rebalance the constitutional arrangements, but that came apart after his death. Caesar took total control as life dictator, but that ended with his assassination and the civil wars which followed. Octavian Augustus found a more durable solution of entrenching personal power for himself and his successors, and even though his Propaganda machine proclaimed the republic restored after he prevailed in the civil war, this concentration of power in one man meant that the republic was a sham, and the first citizen becam effectively an emperor who controlled the instruments of government.

Cleopatra had nothing to do with changing Rome's history from republic to empire. Rome was already an empire under the republican form of government.
