S&L Crisis vs The Great Depression

[Illini Moderate]

Could someone briefly explain to me the difference between S&L crisis and The Great Depression? More specifically how they compare in terms of bank failures and the types of assets being held by these banks that failed. I am having trouble understanding those two aspects.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response! But yes I know they are nowhere near comparable in terms of severity. My professor had asked me to write a brief paper on the topic however. That is why I was confused a bit.
