There are good Wikipedia articles that lay out the specifics of each case, and they are far too long to post here.
Andrew Johnson faced 11 specific articles of impeachment, Clinton four different ones, and Trump, so far, two serious ones.

Andrew Johnson was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act, which prohibited a president from firing a cabinet officer without approval from the Senate. Johnson fired Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War.
Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky while being questioned by a grand jury.

This is easily researched just through this site - the question has been asked so many times. All I'll say is that none of these cases are anything alike.
