Because he had a good PR man.
Seriously, other people bumped into this continent, probably before Chris, but he marketed it as a world of opportunity and riches. He got the bigwigs involved, a little competition, a little controversy, natives to exploit, new foods, a bit of gold. He didn't get rich himself, but he got the glory, deserved or not.
