Just for discussion purposes, the two ads I see on google right now for 
"World War II" are for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and 
for World War II History magazine.

The Museum advertisement leads to a special section of their website 
focussing on D-Day.  From my cursory reading of it as a non-specialist, 
it does not appear to be POV pushing.  It is an educational site about 
the war.

At Britannica,

I see a banner at the top, apparently unrelated to the content (for 
Advair, an asthma medication).  Further down, I see an advertisement for 
the Lincoln Navigator, a giant SUV car thing.  And I see an 
advertisement for the University of Phoenix.  And another ad for the 
University of Phoenix.  And the google ads.  (I am not even counting 
their ads for their own products.)

Interestingly enough, at Ask.com, I see no advertisements for "World War 
II".

At Yahoo, I see a series of text ads similar to google's (though, more 
of them).

A search for "Tutankhamun" at Google (the most popular pharoah I 
suppose), shows 3 advertisements for tickets to the Tutankhamun exhibit, 
which is currently in London.
