Detailed Solution

Lord Dalhousie introduced the Doctrine of Lapse, according to which the British would immediately inherit any Indian king's kingdom if he passed away without leaving a male biological successor. From 1848 to 1856, Lord Dalhousie served as the Governor General. His Doctrine of Lapse policy was used to carry out this final wave of British annexations. The Doctrine of Lapse was first used in 1848 to acquire the kingdom of Satara. This rule was a major reason for the breakout of the Revolt of 1857.
