Columbus underestimated the worlds size and calculated that east Asia must be approximately where North America is on right now. They didn't know the Pacific Ocean even existed. He thought he was taking a route to Asia, and thought he had landed in India, which he called the native Indians.
For a shorter answer it was because most of Europe did not know the Americas existed ...
