Why was it Montague's fault that Romeo and Juliet killed themselves?

It wasn't just the Montague's fault. It was the Capulet's fault too. Why? Because if they hadn't been fighting, Romeo and Juliet wouldn't have had the need to hide their love from their families, meaning Juliet wouldn't have been sent to marry Paris, leading to Juliet never having to take the poison and never leading to Romeo thinking she's dead and him killing himself and then Julit killing herself.
