What did schlieffen plan depend on?

The Schlieffen plan (in my opinion) was more or less a last ditch effort by the German infantry to break through the enemy lines and recapture France. They planned to invade all along the Western front, from Belgium down to having infantry swarming France through Switzerland. It depended mostly on enemy defensive positions at these locations (where the Germans assumed it would be easiest to get through since there was no artillery in neutral countries such as Switzerland and Belgium). However, when Germany spread its troops across the Western front instead of concentrating on core areas such as Passchendaele and Ypres, the allies were able to push back closer to Berlin, so the Schlieffen plan was a total military failure.
