Comparing the Mongol Empire and the British Empire

It's often said that the Mongol Empire of the 13th century and the British Empire of the 20th century were the largest empires in world history. How do they compare to each other?

I find it very amusing to learn that the Mongols believed in Manifest Destiny

Because Kublai Khan’s official “excuse” for using the name of “Great Yuan” as the new name of Mongol Empire is because of he view the Dynasty as Yao&Shun’s successor(Which is the most famous Chinese Emperors in the past)

Such as Yuan Dynasty treat IIikhanate as “Chinese feudal king”(only nominally)

I think another similarity is both of them broken to de facto independent states,but nominally agree the main part as the chief of entire Empire,such as all de facto sovereign Mongol states acknowledge they are Yuan Dynasty’s feudal lords on paper(most of them agree since Kublai Khan,but all of them only agree during the reign of Chengzong Emperor),and British dominions after WW1 still under British sovereignty,but highly self-governing.

It turns out it's hard to get a video done when the kids are home all day for summer vacation. But that's not the only reason the video is late this month. I'm in the editing stage of a new video for YouTube that will end up being the longest one yet – possibly over two hours once it's all said and done. I confess I've been pouring my time into that one and putting this one off.
