Why was Trump impeached?

In a formal House inquiry, it was found that Trump had solicited a foreign power - Ukraine's - help in his 2020 re-election bid. A White House whistleblower had submitted a report stating that Trump had withheld military aid to Ukraine unless Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a public announcement of a probe into former Vice-president Joe Biden. Previously, an FBI probe had confirmed Russian interference into the 2016 US elections but had not judged if Trump was guilty or not.
