The feud between the Senju and the Uchiha is the root cause of all of this, and both sides are to blame because both sides were stubborn and didn't want to admit they were both wrong. The thing that Toshirama did to the Uchiha also didn't help matters at all because he used them like a Police force, and created the seeds for distrust and of course the Uchiha didn't endear themselves to the village either so both of them are to blame.
