Were the acts of union for the benefit of England or Wales?
The Tudor monarchs had the flimsiest of claims to the English throne, so Henry VII asserted his right to the throne of England by virtue of being descended from the British King Arthur.
Because the Tudor claim to the throne was essentially based on Welsh lineage, it was necessary to the Tudor dynasty to insist that Wales and England were one country.
The Acts of Union were not primarily intended for the benefit of England or Wales - they were for the benefit of the Tudors.
Similarities between merthyr tydfil and Cardiff bay?
Both have had and been part of one of the greatest industrial periods in history. In their day both areas had a massive volume of immigration from across the UK and Europe to work in the Docks at Cardiff and the Guest Iron works in Merthyr Tydfil.

Both areas fell in to decline with many houses and industrial sites falling to ruin

When did England become part of Wales?
Wales has not become part of England. Wales is it's own country next to England. It is in the UK but that also consists of Scotland and the six counties of Northern Ireland.
--In 1535, after years of occupation, it was annexed to English law (but kept its own language and culture). We are all British and part of the United Kingdom now. We are "countries within a country" (U K goverment). Wales has a National Assembly and no British country owns the other - it is a union. the UK parliament is in London, England.
Answer
The principality was brought under English control in 1284 when the Statute of Rhuddlan was enacted, the remaining Welsh territory was administered under the Marcher Lords until the Laws in Wales acts of 1536 (and 1542) were passed making England and Wales a single legal state. Sometimes referred to as the Act of Union between England and Wales similar to the Scottish/English Act although the naming of it as such is unofficial and didn't occur until the 20th century. Under devolution certain budget and legislative powers were given to the Welsh Assembly in 1998 although primary legislative powers remain with the government in Westminster and the legal system for England and Wales remains the same. This is in contrast to Scotland which always retained a separate legal base
Wales is not the real name for the country you are thinking of. It's real name is Cymru. Wales is a name made up by the Anglo-Saxon (English) invaders that actually pushed the original Britons back to what is now 'Wales' and Scotland. They failed to take over entirely because of the mountains and so in 'Wales' the Cymry settled. So in fact, England is the new country in the 'United Kingdom' and if you like, you could well ask yourself "When did England become part of Wales"?
They have the Eisteddfod, which is a BIG concert sorta thing. And everyone sings welsh folk songs or folk dancing or poetry. Or plays the harp. Its just loads of musical stuff. And they also have "Dydd Gwyl Dewi".
