Why is the play called The Tragedy of Julius Caesar instead of The Tragedy of Marcus Brutus?

Julius Caesar is a much more famous historical figure than Brutus. And, although Brutus is the play's main character, it centres around the murder of Caesar, both the planning of it and the consequences of it.
It is not as bizarrely misnamed as The Merchant of Venice, which one imagines ought to be either The Moneylender of Venice or The Heiress of Belmont.

How did the feelings and actions of Brutus lead to the tragedy of Julius Caesar?
Brutus was among a group of Roman senators that believed Julius Caesar had too much power. Brutus felt that any hope of returning Rome back into some form of a republic would be lost if Caesar was allowed to continue on the path he was following. Brutus believed that Julius Caesar wanted to become the king of the Roman empire. Brutus became a secret enemy of Caesar. He certainly had fear of his own life as Caesar had dictatorial powers and could use them against any internal Roman foe. Based on this Brutus conspired to assassinate Julius Caesar. The deed was accomplished in the Senate chambers and Brutus was among those who stabbed Caesar to death, thus the tragedy of Caesar and the lament of Caesar's friends.
