Is it weird that I actually was taught more of the history involved with current events in English class than a history class?

Like every single essay outside of a legit book report on literature we were assigned, had to do with WW2 and/or major political issues like abortion and gun control.

I actually took AP European History as an elective my senior year because I was so sick of everything in English abd regular history class being about 1 single war my country was involved in.
