No, they are not compound words, you cannot divide them and have two separate words. "Housebreak" would be a compound word, like you housebreak your dog. House and break.

Why 'an historical peak' instead of 'a historical peak'?

In contemporary English, the strong pronunciation of the "h" which comes at the start of such words as "historical" or "horrible" or even "hotel" precludes the use of "an". In previous years, however, the "h" at the start of such words was typically not pronounced, or only very lightly pronounced. Since this practice provided such words with a vowel sound, English-speakers utilized the "an" before it in writing and in speaking.
