Explanation:

The doctrine of lapse was an annexation policy applied by the British East India Company in India until 1859. ... The policy is most commonly associated with Lord Dalhousie, who was the Governor General of the East India Company in India between 1848 and 1856.

The Doctrine presented with an idea to annex certain states that have no descendants, the right to rule is expired and can not be changed by adoption.
