Answer
Because only the *bony part* is left. This is a play on words referring to Napoleon Bonaparte who played a key role in the 1789 French Revolution and was the first Emporer of France from 1804-15.
Why this is the answer
The riddle plays on "Bony" sounding like a shortened, punny reference to skeletal remains (bones) left behind, similar to how history/ruins are described.
