First Sentence
Historical sources are more or less in agreement that coal was first used in various parts of the world during the Bronze Age, 3,000-4,000 years ago, that the Chinese began to use coal for heating and smelting in the Warring States Period (475-221 BCE), and that they are credited with organizing production and consumption to the extent that by the year 1,000 this activity could be called an industry.
