Explanation:

Doctrine of Lapse
Under this doctrine the British arrogated to themselves the right to veto the succession of an adopted heir, and instead, to annex the territory concerned, although the adopted successor and his heirs were usually allowed to keep their titles and a substantial annual allowance.
States annexed under this doctrine include:
Satara (annexed 1848);Jaitpur (annexed 1849); Sambalpur (annexed 1850); Baghat (annexed 1850); Udaipur (annexed 1852); Jhansi (annexed 1853);Nagpur (annexed 1854);Karauli (annexed 1855)
