Simons je odrastao u razočaranoj ratom razorenoj zemlji. Frisland je bio opustošen ratom u kasnom 15. i početkom 16. veka. Vojnici [[Landsknehti|Landsknehta]] harali su frizijskom zemljom 1490-ih kako bi prisilili „slobodne” Frižane da prihvate vojvodu [[Saxony|Saksonije-Mejsena]] za svog poglavara države. Vojvoda je bio guverner Holandije u ime [[Хабзбурзи|Habsburške]] porodice. Jedan od dušmana Habsburga, vojvoda od [[Guelders|Geldersa]], napao je Frisland 1515. godine i pokorio polovinu teritorije. Saksonija je drugu polovinu ustupila Habsburgzima. Frizijci su pokušali da povrate svoju slobodu, ali bili su previše slabi i na kraju su prihvatili carsku vlast habsburškog cara [[Карло V, цар Светог римског царства|Karla -{V}-]].
Simons grew up in a disillusioned war-torn country. Friesland was ravaged by war in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. [[Landsknecht]] soldiers haunted the Frisian lands in the 1490s to force the 'Free' Frisians to accept the Duke of [[Saxony|Saxony-Meissen]] as their head of state. The duke was the governor of the Netherlands for the [[Habsburg]] family. One of the archenemies of the Habsburgs, the Duke of [[Guelders]], invaded Friesland in 1515 and conquered half of it. Saxony ceded the other half to the Habsburgs. The Frisians tried to regain their freedom but they were too weak and eventually accepted the imperial authority of the Habsburg emperor [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles V]].

Around 1526 or 1527, questions surrounding the doctrine of [[transubstantiation]] caused Menno Simons to begin a serious and in-depth search of the [[Bible|Holy Scriptures]], which he confessed he had not previously studied, even being a priest. At this time he arrived at what some have termed an "evangelical [[humanism|humanist]]" position.
Oko 1526. ili 1527. godine, pitanja vezana za doktrinu [[transubstantiation|transupstancijacije]] naterala su Meno Simonsa da započne ozbiljnu i dubinsku pretragu [[Bible|Svetog pisma]], za koje je priznao da nije ranije proučavao, mada je bio sveštenik. U to vreme stigao je do onoga što su neki nazvali „evangelistička [[Хуманизам|humanistička]]” pozicija.
