Answer 1

Dear Student

1. Yes I agree that quick expansion of British territories around the mid-nineteenth century was due to Lord Dalhousie's policies as this
was only possible due to Lord Dalhousie's policy - DOCTRINE OF LAPSE

2. Lord Dalhousie applied the policy of doctrine of lapse through which a dependent state would pass into British hands if the ruler died without a natural heir.
