Julius Caesar sought to establish power over the capital in order to bring about political reform he thought necessary to keep Rome a dominant power throughout the Mediterranean . To do this he needed to centralize the power within Rome itself and to bring the provinces under stronger Roman control . He did this by assuming dictatorial powers in order to affect these reforms throughout Rome and the provinces .
Another viewpoint:
He was forced to do so because his time as a magistrate had run out and he had lost his immunity from prosecution. His co-consul of 10 years before - Bibulus - had been waiting for this day so that he could prosecute him for impiety, which carried the death penalty. Caesar had asked for an extension of his magistracy and one legion to keep his immunity and have a bodyguard, but this was rejected by the Senate. Exposed, he had no option but to sieze control while he still had the legions from Gaul responsive to him.
They got tired of sitting around.
Seriously, if you're going to ask a question, give enough specific to make it answerable. If I were to give an answer covering all the times Romans marched, I be here an hour from now, still at work.
I'll give one reason: to stop Hannibal before he got to the city itself.

Julius Caesar did not attack Rome, he was a very good man and when there was war he would not just sit back waiting for the loot, no, he went out with his soldiers and fought for his country

Ceaser was sent to conquer a tribe of Gauls and a few days later sent back the Veni,Vidi, Veci message which meant, I went, I saw, I conquered.

Losing his power... Missing out on killing nasty Gauls... And getting stabbed in the back by his BFF!
Perhaps, but there's no certainty. If they did try an invasion, it would only have been a quick raid as there are no known Gaulic settlements along the British coast. We do know that the Gauls had trade partners and allies in Britain because that was one of the reasons that Julius Caesar invaded Britain. He wanted to punish the coastal tribes for aiding the Gauls.
