Since I retired, I substitute teach in the winter.
While I mostly do science & math, I do 3 or 4 social studies classes per semester.
I see nothing here like what you're seeing.
For 8th grade, there was an entire unit on WW2. Probably a dozen chapters.
I did a class on China for 7th grade last term. I'd have to guess it took close to 2 weeks to cover that stuff.
Whatever text they use in schools here, they're definitely not fluff.
